Incorporated in 1996, Bahl Paper Mills has emerged as one of the leading manufacturers of industrial packing papers, producing an extensive range of environmentally friendly graded paper. All the firm’s products are manufactured from 100% recycled wastepaper and include 180 to 600 gsm duplex board, 18 to 110gsm poster paper and 18 to 160gsm kraft paper. The business produces nearly 300 tonnes of paper every day.

The Bahl team have been extremely impressed with X-Trim. The system’s highly intuitive user interface is a major step forward from the manual processes that were being used previously.
Overall, operational planning is much improved, creating additional time for planners to deliver other value-added activities to support business growth.
“It did not take us long to decide that X-Trim was the solution that would completely satisfy our needs. The prompt response from the Greycon team helped lay to rest any concerns that we had. It has been a great investment, with significant savings.”
