Rocla and TietoEnator are working together to provide paper mill and printing house solutions.

Their first joint delivery will be to SanomaWSOY's printing house Hämeen Paino, in Forssa, an hour's drive from Helsinki.

The Hämeen Paino package consists of a Rocla automated guided vehicles system and TietoEnator's warehouse management system with maintenance services.

Rocla Robotruck Oy managing director Markus Alholm said the aim of the joint co-operation was to create common business opportunities for both companies.

Sakari Ruotsalainen, senior vice president of TietoEnator Forest, said: "This co-operative model offers us an opportunity to expand business in the forest cluster to customers of the traditional forest industry.

"Together with Rocla, we will develop a product for international markets, fulfilling the warehouse management needs of printing houses, paper mills and downstream paper operations," Ruotsalainen said.

TietoEnator, a Scandinavian IT company, claims to be the world's leading independent IT systems provider to the forest industry through its production & logistics business area.
