ondi Rotatrim, produced by the Mondi Group at our Merebank mill in Durban, is celebrating more than 30 years in the South African market. Mondi Rotatrim is a leader among office paper brands that offers superior multi-functional office paper that runs smoothly through photocopiers, laser and inkjet printers. The brand carries the Forest Stewardship Council Chain-of-Custody certification, an independent international accreditation providing assurance to customers that Mondi Rotatrim is produced from responsibly managed forests. Made from Elemental Chlorine Free (ECF) pulp, Mondi Rotatrim is the only locally manufactured paper with a 160CIE rating for superior whiteness. At the heart of the production process is our 6m-wide Voith Paper Machine – one of the most technologically advanced in the Southern Hemisphere. Equipped with state-of-the-art technology, Paper Machine 31 produces high-quality, uncoated wood-free grades with copy paper forming the bulk of production. This production line is supported by modern converting equipment. To support our high-quality operations, the right skills are essential. We maintain a consistently high level of training in our operations and in 2015 four of our papermakers successfully completed their international Pulp and Paper Craftsman qualifications in Europe, becoming the first on the African continent to hold this qualification. Our unrelenting drive to deliver the highest quality in everything we do has enabled us to make a product that is a household name today and is supplied countrywide and to the rest of Africa.
