Valmet will supply the eighth tissue line delivery including an extensive automation package to Turkish tissue producer Hayat Kimya. The company has decided to invest in a third machine in Russia in order to meet the increasing demand for their high-quality tissue products. This is the first machine at their new mill outside Moscow. The new line will add 70,000 tons of tissue to company’s current production of facial, toilet and towel tissues.
The order is included in Valmet’s orders received of the second quarter 2020. The value of the order will not be disclosed.
Hayat Kimya, the current world speed record holder with their TM2 tissue machine in Turkey supplied by Valmet, is constantly targeting latest technology to reach the highest efficiency and the lowest possible energy consumption. Previously the company has installed six Valmet Advantage DCT 200TS tissue production lines to its mills in Turkey, Russia and Egypt with one more starting-up in 2021.
“Our ambition is to run at high efficiency and Valmet’s technology is certainly supporting that target. We are regularly updating our machine fleet to make sure we always operate at optimum production level. We find both Valmet’s technology and people easy to deal with,” says Lütfi Aydin, Director, Paper Group, Hayat Kimya.
“We are excited to be part of Hayat Kimya’s successful journey. The company started only fourteen years ago and is already a world player, who will soon have nine tissue lines in operation,” says Björn Magnus, Sales Director, Tissue Mills business unit, Paper business line, Valmet.
