As a specialist in engraving and embossing rollers, the company designs and manufactures customized solutions at its international sites in Germany, Poland and Indonesia. These rollers are seamlessly integrated into industrial production lines, enhancing efficiency, product quality and market differentiation.
With years of industry experience, SAUERESSIG supports its customers from the initial idea to design and through to full process integration.
The mission is to contribute to the technical and economic success of tissue producers through reliable rollers and engraving, expert consultation and practical testing opportunities.
The company’s expertise is built on a strong set of values: integrity, responsibility, innovation and long-term thinking. SAUERESSIG does not chase short-term trends – it focuses on the sustainable, forward-looking evolution of technologies and industrial processes.
Technological solutions for industrial tissue production
SAUERESSIG provides embossing rollers for structuring tissue and paper surfaces, fully understanding both machine-side and material-specific requirements. Its embossing cylinders and systems are not off-the-shelf products they are developed individually to match customers’ technical environments, paper grades and target markets. From toilet paper and kitchen towels to away-from-home hygiene products, these rollers increase performance, cost-efficiency and product distinction.
At the heart of every development lies a simple but decisive question: how can we help customers make their production more resource-efficient, stable and productive without compromising on quality or design?
The answer: highly precise, intelligently designed engraving solutions that have a positive effect on the material. Optimized embossing profiles improve bulk and absorbency, even with lower basis weights, saving resources, cutting costs and reducing environmental impact.
Every roll SAUERESSIG delivers is the result of data, experience and close collaboration.
Process-safe development through pilot testing
One of the company’s unique advantages is its in-house tissue pilot line located in Mönchengladbach, Germany.
This facility allows simulation of real embossing and converting processes without interfering with customers’ production lines. Thanks to this pilot line, customers benefit from optimized development and fine-tuning of embossing patterns and cylinder geometries – all before full-scale implementation. Realistic testing conditions enable precise evaluation of material behavior and process dynamics.
This not only shortens development time and accelerates time-to-market for new designs but also reduces production risks and significantly cuts waste. For machine builders, converters and tissue manufacturers, the pilot line represents a clear development advantage and a powerful tool for safely validating technical innovations under near-production conditions.
SAUERESSIG Group offers the tissue industry a complete and technically sound embossing portfolio. Its rollers combine design precision, functional value and production reliability, all tailored to meet the complex demands of modern converting processes.
