Lucca, Italy 01 February 2018 -- Vinda International Group purchased four new Toscotec AHEAD-2.0M tissue machines, to be installed in its new production base in Xiaonan district, Xiaogan, Hubei. Toscotec will deliver the first two lines in mid-March and the second two in mid-May 2018.
PM1, PM2, PM3 and PM4 will have similar configurations, including second generation large diameter TT SYD and Toscotec's most recent technological developments in dryness efficiency, taking its widely acknowledged energy saving results to the next level.
The four AHEAD-2.0M are scheduled to come online by the end of 2018, leading to a total production increase of over 120,000 t/y for Vinda. This year the Italian supplier is also delivering two AHEAD-2.0M tissue machines to Vinda's new Yangjiang mill in Guangdong. Overall, these six Toscotec-supplied lines will add a total of over 180,000 tons to Vinda International's annual production output.
Toscotec Chief Executive Officer Mr. Alessandro Mennucci stated, "We know that this large project at the heart of China's central region is of strategic importance to Vinda, and we are proud to be part of it. Toscotec will be there with today's best available tissue technology, including our latest advancements. I am confident that Vinda will appreciate the benefits of the AHEAD-2.0M in terms of both tissue quality and consumptions."
Located in the high-demand central China tissue market region, Vinda's new Hubei mill will become another important strategic production base for Vinda Group.
