ACA RoQ Handheld reaches a major milestone – 600 units delivered worldwide
ACA Systems is proud to announce a significant milestone: the 600th ACA RoQ Handheld roll quality analyzer has now been delivered to customers worldwide.
The milestone order was placed by our partner in China Voith / BTG who delivered the unit for Guangxi Xianhe, marking another important step in the growing global adoption of RoQ technology for roll quality management.
Since its introduction, ACA RoQ Handheld has become a trusted tool for paper, board, film and converting industry professionals seeking to improve roll quality control throughout the supply chain. Today, the instrument is used by producers, converters, logistics operators, and end-users across multiple continents.

Better roll quality across the entire value chain
The widespread adoption of RoQ technology reflects the industry's increasing focus on quality, efficiency, and sustainability.
By enabling objective and repeatable roll quality measurements, ACA RoQ helps identify defects before rolls move further along the supply chain. This reduces unnecessary waste, minimizes customer complaints, and lowers the costs associated with handling and transporting defective rolls.
The environmental benefits are equally important. Improved roll quality control helps reduce material losses and avoids unnecessary transportation of unusable products, contributing to a lower overall environmental footprint.
"We are delighted to see how ACA RoQ has become an important quality control tool throughout the value chain. Better roll quality means less waste, fewer disruptions, improved productivity, and lower environmental impact for everyone involved," says Vesa Kukkamo, CEO, ACA Systems.
Strong partnerships behind the success
The achievement of 600 delivered units would not have been possible without the support of our global network of customers and channel partners as well as our developers and operations.
A special thank you goes to Voith Paper / BTG, whose teams have played a key role in introducing RoQ technology to customers in China. We would also like to thank all other distribution partners and customers for their trust, cooperation, and commitment over the years.
The journey has been built on strong collaboration and shared dedication to improving quality measurement practices across the industry.
