Xerium Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:XRM), a leading global provider
of industrial consumable products and services, will host 14
students from the UMaine Student TAPPI/PIMA Chapter for plant tours
at two of the company’s world-class European manufacturing
facilities in Gloggnitz, Austria and Reutlingen, Germany. The
students will also visit the R&D labs and view product demos
and technical presentations while at the Xerium facilities May 15
and May 18, 2015.
UMaine is one of New England’s premier universities with the
most accredited engineering disciplines serving the paper and
supplier industry. The UMaine Pulp and Paper Foundation is the
oldest in the country and serves as a liaison between the industry
and faculty to ensure the curriculum meets industry needs.
“Xerium is pleased to host a study tour for the students of
UMaine,” said Bill Butterfield, EVP and CTO of Xerium. “We strongly
support the future leaders of the pulp and paper industry and view
this as a great opportunity for rising juniors and seniors to get
an up close look at new technologies and advancements in paper
making and realize how they can soon contribute to developing new
technologies.”
“UMaine TAPPI/PIMA students first traveled abroad to Finland in
2013. As evidenced by the success of the previous trip, these
students will walk away with a much greater understanding of the
new developments in pulp and paper as well as a reassurance that
the paper industry is global and as strong as ever. This
experience, combined with UMaine’s top-notch engineering education
as well as their co-ops and internships, make them leading
candidates for placement upon graduation. We are so grateful to
sponsors like Xerium who make this travel opportunity possible,”
said Carrie Enos, UMaine Pulp and Paper Foundation President.
