Duni (Sweden) subsidiary Rexcell Tissue & Airlaid AB, Sweden, will invest approximately 110 MSEK, upgrading its two tissue machines in Skåpafors, Sweden. The investment will increase the tissue capacity at Rexcell by approximately 15% annually. 

Voith GmbH & CO KG has been selected as key supplier. This will be the second installation of a new technology in the world and the first in Europe.

"As market leader in producing colored tissue for napkins, we need to invest in higher efficiency and upgraded materials. This investment will give us the opportunity to develop new products in cooperation with our customers," said Thomas Gustafsson, president and CEO of Duni AB.
