César Iglesias is to boost its production capacity after investing in a Toscotec-supplied AHEAD 1.8 tissue line to be installed at its facility in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
Start-up of PM2 is planned for 2026, and the line has a sheet width of 2.8m and a production capacity of over 30,000tpy.
It is equipped with TT NextPress shoe press technology, a TT SYD Steel Yankee Dryer, and high-efficiency TT Hoods.
The supply also includes the complete stock preparation system, Toscotec’s upgraded Distributed Control System TT Brain DCS, as well as the full electrification system.
This is a repeat order for Toscotec, which in 2019 started up a TT SYD Steel Yankee Dryer on the company’s PM1 as a replacement of an existing cast iron cylinder.
Jesús Feris Ferrús, Technical Director at César Iglesias, said: “Toscotec’s Steel Yankee has been delivering outstanding energy efficiency results for over five years.
“We trust that Toscotec will match our expectations on this important new investment and the tissue line will give us a competitive advantage in the regional market.”
César Iglesias is a Dominican company with more than 100 years in the market.
It is dedicated to the manufacture and marketing of mass consumption products in the areas of cleaning, home care and personal care and food.
