Metsä Tissue to Install Two New Converting lines in Germany and Slovakia

Metsä Tissue is investing in two new converting lines for its operations in Germany and Slovakia.

The company will install a line for away-from-home products at the Raubach mill in Germany and another for consumer products at the Žilina plant in Slovakia. A spokeswoman said the new capacity will be available for the market at the end of next year, but declined to reveal further details just yet.

The Raubach facility houses two tissue machines with a combined capacity of 61,000 metric tpy, according to RISI’s Asset Database. The Žilina plant also boasts two TMs, which have a total capacity of 90,000 metric tpy.
