Sofidel America will invest in a state-of-the-art Valmet tissue line to meet the growing demand of ultra-premium tissue products in the North American market. The new Advantage ThruAir tissue line will enable Sofidel America to significantly expand its production capacity of ultra-premium products for North American consumers.
The collaboration brings together Tandem Repeat's expertise in advanced biotechnology and ANDRITZ's extensive experience as a supplier of solutions and plants for the production of nonwovens and manmade cellulosic fibers.
A North American kraft pulp and paper mill will expand its woodyard with a complete Bruks Siwertell material handling system, including a cross-over stacker reclaimer and multiple conveyors.
The plant will use agricultural residues, primarily straw, to produce pulp blends for sustainable paper packaging by combining these with recycled wastepaper.
Valmet will deliver a new evaporation line to Altri Biotek mill in Portugal. This delivery is part of Altri's EUR 75 million project to convert the Biotek mill to produce dissolving pulp for textile industry. The new evaporation line significantly improves the mill's energy and water efficiency, meeting the needs of Altri's mill expansion.
