China’s Hengan International Group has boosted its TAD production capacity after starting up its second Toscotec-supplied TADVISION tissue machine at its headquarters in Fujian.
This is the second of two TAD machines that Toscotec supplied to Hengan after the first came online in 2023 at the company’s plant in Xiaogan mill, Hubei.
The start-ups mean China’s first two TAD machines are now in operation
Toscotec said Hengan’s market launch of premium quality structured tissue in China “has been establishing a new quality benchmark since 2024.”
Wang Xiangyang, Vice President of Hengan Group, said: “From pulping to the first jumbo roll, it only took 28 minutes, an impressive result for the start-up of a TAD machine.
“The production of two TAD machines not only enriches our group’s high-end product line, but also helps us continue occupying the high-end market.”
Hengan Group launched China’s first TAD tissue product in 2024, the RONGLIFANG series of kitchen towel, folded tissue and toilet paper.
Founded in 1985, Hengan International Group is a leading Chinese tissue and hygiene products manufacturer.
It has an annual revenue of 23.7bn RMB and a production capacity of 1.47m tons per year.
