The Advantage DCT 200TS tissue machine will be installed at the company’s mill in Pamukova, Sakarya Province, with start-up planned for the second quarter 2022.
It has a width of 5.6m, a design speed of 2.200m/min, and will add 70,000tpy of high-quality facial, handkerchief, toilet and towel grades to the company’s current production.
