Vinda International Group, China, has purchased four new Toscotec (Italy) AHEAD-2.0M tissue machines, to be installed in its new production base in Xiaonan district, Xiaogan, Hubei, China. Toscotec will deliver the first two lines in mid-March and the second two in mid-May 2018.   

PM 1, PM 2, PM 3, and PM 4 will have similar configurations, including second generation large diameter TT SYD and Toscotec’s most recent technological developments in dryness efficiency, taking its widely acknowledged energy saving results to the next level. 

The four AHEAD-2.0M are scheduled to come online by the end of 2018, leading to a total production increase of more than 120,000 metric tpy for Vinda. This year Toscotec also is delivering two AHEAD 2.0M tissue machines to Vinda’s new Yangjiang mill in Guangdong. Overall, these six Toscotec-supplied lines will add a total of more than 180,000 metric tons to Vinda International’s annual production output.  
 

Toscotec CEO Alessandro Mennucci said that "we know this large project at the heart of China’s central region is of strategic importance to Vinda, and we are proud to be part of it. Toscotec will be there with today’s best available tissue technology, including our latest advancements. I am confident that Vinda will appreciate the benefits of the AHEAD-2.0M in terms of both tissue quality and consumptions."

Located in the high-demand central China tissue market region, Vinda’s new Hubei mill will become another important strategic production base for Vinda Group.
