Real Engineers. Real Insights. Real Results. 

Envoy is a team of engineers with real mill experience who turn process data into clear, actionable insight—delivered before your shift starts. We partner with pulp and paper mills to reduce downtime, improve process stability, and provide consistent support when the answer isn’t obvious. 

Our Story

Founded in 2003 by a former mill engineer and software sales professional, Envoy began as a consulting service aimed at helping mills evaluate advanced control solutions. What started as one-off site visits quickly evolved into a fully managed remote service model—delivering daily engineer-reviewed reports and monthly process insight tailored to each operation.

Over the years, key turning points shaped our approach:

What We Believe

Insight

only matters if it leads to action

long-term value

You shouldn’t need a long-term contract to get

Real Experience

beats automation alone

We aim to be

the team you call when the answer isn't obvious

Meet the Team

We’re a team of 20 engineers with over 500 years of combined paper mill experience—supported by an in-house software development team that ensures our tools evolve with your needs. Every client is matched with an engineer who knows their process and delivers insight—not just data.
