Türkiye’s Eruslu Hygienic Products has diversified into tissue manufacturing after investing in two Valmet Advantage DCT 200TS tissue lines.
With a combined capacity of 140,000tpy, the machines will be installed at the company’s Bursa-based site with start-up of the first line planned for 2027 and the second in 2028. Production will be for the consumer and AfH markets.
Eruslu currently manufactures baby and adult care products as well as wet wipes and household products, with brands reaching more than 150 countries.
By bringing large-scale tissue production on stream along with its established product business, the company said it is building “a more integrated operation with greater control over quality, capacity and future product development.”
The two Valmet machines are designed for 2,200mpm, supported by automatic pulper feeding, rewinding, mill design and a broad automation scope.
Erdem Barut, Paper Investments Production Director at Eruslu Hygienic Products, said: “Our ambition is clear – we want to achieve the best possible results from the very beginning.”
When both tissue lines are running, Bursa will be home to a significant new tissue operation in Türkiye.
