Better Together: Olli-Pekka Riippa, AFT

In this episode, Olli-Pekka Riippa, a product manager for AFT, tells us more about a challenging project – a new product developed the company developed during the COVID-19 pandemic. With team members in Ireland, Finland, Japan, and elsewhere, the team leveraged digital technologies to launch the product successfully.

In the end, Riippa says he found the process very positive. “Even if we were asking people to get up early or stay up late, everyone was willing to participate, because the project was very interesting.”

We’ll also hear about why the new product—a high-performance refiner—was designed to be exceptionally adaptable for papermakers. Join Paper360° Editorial Director Jan Bottiglieri and AFT’s Olli-Pekka Riippa for a success story that shows that, thanks to both practical and virtual technologies, we really can be Better Together.
