Designed to produce high-quality toilet and kitchen tissue, start-up of the 30,000tpy line is planned for the first half of 2027.
The scope of supply includes equipment for stock preparation, a PrimeLineTM tissue machine with a speed of 1,800m/min and a width of 2.75 metres, a PrimePress shoe press for improved bulk and softness, a Steel Yankee, automation and electrification systems, as well as basic and detailed engineering services.
