Anonymous Paper Company Implement Greycon Solutions

Who?

In 2015, two South American paper companies embarked on a joint-venture agreement. The new company was set to operate from two sites.

The first site had been using Greycon’s X-Trim and opt-Studio for many years, with excellent and proven results. The natural next step saw Greycon selected to roll out its complete planning and scheduling solution to the “new” site.
