Irving Consumer Products to Install new Valmet TAD Tissue Machine

 

Irving Consumer Products, Dieppe, N.B., Canada, is increasing its capacity for household paper products by buying a new Thru-Air Dried (TAD) tissue making machine from Valmet.

 

"The purchase of a new TAD machine will help Irving Consumer Products continue to grow and deliver quality household paper products to our customers," said Robert K. Irving, president of Irving Consumer Products.

Consumer demand has led to growth in the quantity and variety of TAD household paper products such as bathroom tissue and household towel.

"We’re very proud of our relationship with Irving Consumer Products," said Anders Björn, VP, Tissue Mills of Valmet. "This new Advantage Thru Air Drying machine will deliver ultra premium household paper products for Irving customers. It will produce very high softness and bulk for bath while delivering ultra premium performance strength and absorbency for towel."

The delivery date will be in 2018.
