A.Celli Supplies New Tissue Rewinder to Sofidel America
A.Celli Paper, Italy, reports that it has concluded an order for a latest-generation rewinder model E-WIND® with the Italian group Sofidel, for its facility in Circleville, Ohio, USA.
Sofidel America was founded in 2012 when Sofidel purchased Cellynne, a tissue paper manufacturer for consumer and away from home business, and it is now operating in seven states (Florida, Wisconsin, Nevada, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Mississippi, and Ohio where a new integrated plant is under construction).
The tissue rewinder model E-WIND T200, highly evolved from the point of view of design and equipped with sophisticated technological innovations, has a 5,600-mm format and a working speed of 1,600 m/min. The machine, whose startup is scheduled in Q1 2018, will guarantee the Sofidel Group the opportunity to work and handle structured webs.
The Sofidel Group is a manufacturer of paper for hygienic and domestic use worldwide. Established in 1966, the Group has subsidiaries in 13 countries—Italy, Spain, the U.K., France, Belgium, Germany, Sweden, Poland, Hungary, Greece, Romania, Turkey, and the U.S.—with more than 5,500 employees, a consolidated turnover of EUR 1,809 million (2015), and a production capacity of more than one million metric tpy (1,058,000 metric tpy in 2015).
Sofidel America is a subsidiary of the Sofidel Group. It was established in 2012 through the acquisition of the Cellynne tissue company, which was founded in 1988 with three production sites in the U.S.—Haines City (Fla.), Green Bay (Wis.), and Henderson (Nev.). The company is now active in seven states—the original three already listed, as well as Oklahoma (Tulsa), Ohio (Circleville), Pennsylvania (Philadelphia), and Mississippi (Hattiesburg).
