About us

The interaction of chemical and mechanical automated processes in paper production must work - a complex process of recycling, cleaning of pulp and water circuits, and high-speed machine production. LEVACO's PAPER SOLUTIONS team (formerly part of DEFOTEC Entschäumer Vertriebs-GmbH) aims to optimize and save costs in paper or board production with its detailed specialized knowledge.

You benefit from our extensive experience in the use of chemical additives in all areas of the paper industry. Examples are

Reduction of odor emissions in the production of paperboard and board,
Prevention of lime deposits and bacterial buildup in the production of graphic papers,
Combating foam formation in tissue paper and pulp production,
Increasing strength for specialty and technical papers, or
Use of flocculants in water and wastewater circuits.

Meeting your demands for professional customer service, quality and reliability is just as much a matter of course for us as sustainability and environmental orientation. We accompany you from the first laboratory test with our additives to their regular use and subsequent optimization. This is also where our self-developed and market-established process technologies are used, such as our DEFOTEST dH PLUS online measuring instruments for pH-value, water hardness, and organic acids.

A market that moves forward needs a company that moves with it. In us, you will find a partner who can provide you with round-the-clock support and a customized complete package of knowhow, commitment, and practical experience. Get the decisive help you need to achieve your goals in discussions with our competent consultants and employees.
