Vinda Group, China, is a producer and branded provider of household paper and personal care as well as general hygiene products across China. Due to increased demand, the company says it is "stepping up its expansion plan" and, in line with the strong partnership with Toscotec, Marlia, Italy, it has decided to place orders for three new tissue lines at its two mills in Sichuan and Shandong provinces. These machines are scheduled to come online in the fourth quarter of this year.
