According to Fastmarkets RISI, China’s Libang Group will add 100,000 metric tpy of tissue capacity to its existing mill in Xiaogan city, Hubei province. Domestic supplier Baotuo Paper Machinery has been tapped to provide four tissue PMs.

Each will have a capacity of 25,000 metric tpy, and will feature a trim width of 3.55 m and a design speed of 1,500 m/min. Their startups are expected in 2023. At present, the Xiaogan mill runs four 20,000 metric tpy tissue machines, which were commissioned in 2020 and 2021.

The Libang Group plans to boost the mill’s total tissue paper capacity to 300,000 metric tpy eventually. However, it has not unveiled a detailed timeline for the target. The group also runs a 148,000 metric tpy tissue plant in Baoding city, Hebei province, through its subsidiary Baoding Gangxing Paper.
