Pulp and Paper

Specialized Manpower for the Pulp-and-Paper Industry

The byproduct of living in a digital age means less demand for paper to hold the written word. On the other hand, evolving technology also creates an increase in the need for paper that can withstand shipping and handling. As a result, the successful manufacturer must be both diversified and specialized.

Operations must be diversified to seamlessly upgrade, re-tool, add or change out machines and multiple converting lines, or get a new plant up and running. The effective company is also one that has the specialized manpower in place to keep equipment efficiently converting raw material into end products such as pulp, paper, board, or cellulose-based materials. The Southeastern Carpenters Regional Council provides this kind of manpower.

OUR ADVANTAGE

Pulp-and-paper plants have access to SECRC contractors who have the power of mobility across the South. This gives contractors a deep pool of safe, productive, highly skilled professionals to pull from for jobs of any size in any location. It also allows us to respond to emergencies quickly with specialized talent.

ATTRACTING AND RETAINING MANPOWER

Attracting and retaining manpower is a key business strategy for pulp-and-paper companies. When you partner with the SECRC, you will avoid:

  • Creating your own training program or vetting the merits of tech-school curricula
  • Waiting for new training programs to produce viable workers
  • Spending resources to import labor
  • Doubting if your crew will be productive and safe
  • Tracking certifications, qualifications, and drug tests
