Xerium has also moved its Asia business leadership from the United States and Europe to China, which includes senior positions in sales and technical leadership.
The company has started its data centre in Shanghai and partnered with SAP as its provider for rolls plant information technology, and partnered with Infor for machine clothing plant information technology.
The company has also moved its Asia supply chain and warehousing activities from in-house or locally provided into a global partnership with Panalpina.
Panalpina is one of the world's leading providers of end-to-end supply chain solutions and Xerium is connecting its internal systems with Panalpina to give its customers a seamless electronic supply chain.
CEO at Xerium Harold Bevis said, “Competing and winning in China and throughout Asia is central to Xerium's corporate repositioning.”
“Xerium's legacy markets in North American and European newsprint, printing and writing are all under pressure, since these market segments are going through permanent correction,” he added.
“Several years ago, the board of Xerium decided to tackle this situation head-on and reposition its assets and commercial profile directly into growth markets globally,” Bevis informed.
“This restructured business is now underway producing and selling machine clothing, performing on-machine service, and performing in-factory rolls and mechanical service.” Bevis stated. (AR)
