As a specialist in engraving and embossing rollers, customized solutions are designed and manufactured at the Group’s international sites in Germany, Poland and Indonesia. These rollers are seamlessly integrated into industrial production lines, enhancing efficiency, product quality and market differentiation.
With extensive industry experience, support is provided to customers from the initial idea and design 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 Group’s expertise is built on a strong set of values: integrity, responsibility, innovation and long-term thinking. Rather than chasing short-term trends, the focus remains on the sustainable, forward-looking evolution of technologies and industrial processes.
Technological solutions for industrial tissue production
Every year, MIAC in Lucca brings together the full value chain of the paper and tissue industry, offering an ideal platform to showcase Saueressig Group’s solutions. Embossing rollers are provided for the structuring of tissue and paper surfaces, with full understanding of both machine-side and material-specific requirements. The embossing cylinders and systems are not off-the-shelf products – they are developed individually to match each customer’s technical environment, paper grades and target markets.
From toilet paper and kitchen towels to away-from-home hygiene products, the rollers are designed to increase performance, cost-efficiency and product distinction. At the heart of every development lies a simple but decisive question: how can production be made more resource-efficient, stable, and productive without compromising on quality or design?
The answer lies in 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 delivered is the result of data, experience and close collaboration.
Process-safe development through Pilot Testing
A unique feature within the industry is the in-house tissue pilot line located in Mönchengladbach, Germany. This facility makes it possible to simulate real embossing and converting processes without interfering with customers’ production lines.
Through this pilot line, optimized development and fine-tuning of embossing patterns and cylinder geometries are carried out before full-scale implementation. Realistic testing conditions allow precise evaluation of material behavior and process dynamics. This approach shortens development time, accelerates time-to-market for new designs, reduces production risks and significantly cuts waste.
For machine builders, converters and tissue manufacturers, the pilot line provides 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. The rollers combine design precision, functional value, and production reliability, all tailored to meet the complex demands of modern converting processes. The Group stands for embossing that delivers measurable value, for technology that improves production, and for partnerships built to last.
Saueressig Group
Saueressig Group combines technological expertise with creative know-how in a holistic service portfolio dedicated to the design, structuring, and functionalization of industrial surfaces. Customers are supported throughout the entire value chain: from the initial idea to the fully developed production roll.
At the core of the offering lies the development and manufacturing of high-precision engraving and embossing rollers, tailored precisely to individual requirements. Whether for tissue products, packaging solutions, decorative surfaces, technical textiles or nonwovens, customized cylinders, rollers and plates are delivered to perfectly align design, function and production needs.
From the early stages of a project, comprehensive design and artwork services are provided, where creative vision and technical feasibility go hand in hand. The result is unique embossing patterns and print designs that deliver both aesthetic appeal and functional performance.
Beyond tool manufacturing, in-depth technical consulting and process optimization are offered – from digital simulation and data-driven analysis to seamless integration into existing production lines. The approach combines interdisciplinary expertise, state-of-the-art software tools, and decades of experience across multiple industries.
A standout feature of the portfolio is the ability to conduct realistic test runs, such as those performed at the tissue pilot line in Mönchengladbach, Germany. This enables quick, safe and efficient validation and fine-tuning of new designs and rollers under near-production conditions. The offering is complemented by a strong after-sales and service program, including repairs, re-engraving, and lifecycle management – all aimed at maximizing roller availability, reducing costs, and conserving resources.
With this combination of creative excellence, technical precision and practical process support, Saueressig Group provides a comprehensive, future-ready portfolio for advanced surface solutions – extending far beyond the tissue industry.
