Our Journey

Anssum's journey commenced with a collaborative endeavour between a renowned South African university and a global paper and pulp company aimed at developing control algorithms for older Recovery Boilers. This initiative not only yielded significant industrial enhancements but also established Anssum as a global leader in advanced process control.
