The papiNet project

"papiNet is a project in which standard, harmonized business and communication processes as well as document formats were agreed on and implemented by the business partners. All on the basis of modern standards and Internet technologies. We are proud to have made a major contribution to this development."

Dr. Michael Merz, Managing Director

Here you can find detailed information on the papiNet project.

The majority of large paper manufacturers are using Ponton X/P. The number of manufacturers has been continuously increasing since the project started in 2000. Below are are few examples:

• Ahlstrom
• Burgo
• Holmen Paper
• International Paper
• M-Real
• Mead Westvaco
• Myllykoski
• Norske Skog
• Portucel/Soporcel
• SCA
• Södra
• Stora Enso
• Tembec
• UPM Kymmene

Based on the efficiently standardized integration concept the members of the papiNet supply chain consisting of paper manufacturers, printers, publishers and providers of logistical services were able to significantly reduce the operational cost.

In addition to the generic papiNet related efforts Ponton Consulting has developed individual backend-integration solutions for papiNet customers. In this context the Ponton X/D Database Adapter product has proven to be an extremely flexible and efficient integration tool.
