7 Ways Körber helps bridge the U.S. tissue industry’s growing skilled labor gap

On the whole, the U.S. labor market continues to struggle to find enough skilled workers to meet demand, and Manufacturing is one of the industries most affected by the shortage. With pandemic-related challenges and an estimated 22% of the existing skilled workforce retiring by 2025, it’s anticipated that 2.1 million U.S. manufacturing jobs could be vacant in 2030.1 Currently, roughly 695,000 positions are open.2

The Pulp & Paper industry is not exempt from the impact of the labor gap. Producing the 408 million tons of paper consumed worldwide on an annual basis3 isn’t easy under the best of circumstances; having fewer skilled workers to rely upon only complicates matters.

Practical answers are being found in technologies. As part of the Körber ecosystem, Körber Business Area Tissue is able to interconnect technology and technical expertise to help tissue manufacturers bridge the skills gap, improve overall equipment effectiveness (OEE), and achieve operational efficiency goals.
