Case Study: Klöckner Pentaplast reduces waste and boosts throughput with Greycon X-Trim

Klöckner Pentaplast - Customer Case Study

Klöckner Pentaplast, a global manufacturer of plastic films and protective packaging, faced a challenge in minimizing material waste at its Rural Retreat facility. Their existing SAP solution was unable to optimally plan for the wide range of product widths and lengths required by customers, forcing planners to rely on supplemental spreadsheets. They needed a way to maximize material usage across their extrusion lines.

The vendor Greycon implemented its X-Trim slitting optimization solution. The results included a 3% reduction in waste, decreased pattern and knife changes, and greater throughput. The measurable impact and operational improvements were so significant that Klöckner Pentaplast approved an enterprise-wide rollout of X-Trim across multiple additional global sites.
