SCA, Sweden, has upgraded its 43,000 metric tpy tissue machine at the company’s Svetogorsk mill in Russia, according to a RISI, Brussels, Belgium, report. The capacity of the machine has been increased to 52,000 metric tpy.

Russia is the eleventh largest market for SCA regarding tissue. The plant in Svetogorsk was acquired by SCA in the late 1990s. A couple of years ago, the company started up a greenfield mill in Sovetsk, near Tula, some 300 km south of Moscow. The Sovetsk mill houses one tissue machine, supplied by PMT Italia. A second machine is now being built at the site.
