Crown Paper Mill has decided to invest in a second Valmet's Advantage DCT tissue line including an extensive automation package, flow control valves and Industrial Internet solutions to its mill in Saudi Arabia. The target of the investment is to meet the consumers' increasing demand of high-quality tissue products with low environmental impact. The start-up is scheduled for the second half of 2025.

The order is included in Valmet's orders received of the first quarter 2024. The value of the order will not be disclosed.
