wear and tear on completion of the test
run — an excellent result that has even
been certified by Dekra’s vehicle inspec-
tors,” says
Wolfgang Thoma,
Managing
Director of Ansorge Logistik.
In the unlikely event that the loading
operation causes damage to the anti-slip
coating, local damage can be repaired in
a quick and simple process.
Ansorge’s lorries carry a daily average
of 30 loads to various unloading points.
By usingWISA-TopGrip, around five
minutes can be saved per load, enabling
the haulage experts to increase their
journey frequency in future. Meanwhile,
UPM can process a significantly greater
number of orders and increase its own
level of profitability.
Efficiency up, waste down
Another benefit is the minimised risk
of serious injury to the driver when
laying the anti-slipmats. Thanks to the
TopGrip solution, all that is required to
achieve optimum load security are belts
to secure the load.
“Meeting safety standards and iden-
tifying potential areas for optimisation
are top priorities for Ansorge. We take
pride being able to guarantee not only
that our customers’ freight is trans-
ported without a hitch, but also that
our employees enjoy maximumprotec-
tion,” says Thoma.
WISA-TopGrip underwent six
months of testing at Ansorge in total.
Now that the tests have been completed
successfully, the company is converting
its entire fleet. By 2017, all 300 of its
trailers will be fitted with the new floor.
UPMworks closely with its
customers to develop optimum solu-
tions to meet their specific require-
ments. WithWISA-TopGrip, UPMhas
created a product that also enhances its
own also value add. By eliminating the
need for disposable mats, this innova-
tion has cut the volume of waste at the
Schongau production site by some
192 m

in 2014. This is in keeping with
the UPMBiofore sustainability pledge
to create both ecological and economic
added value.
