The company has decided to invest in a new tissue machine at their new mill in Russia, with a target to meet the increasing demand for their high-quality tissue products. The new line will add 70,000 tons of tissue to their current production of facial, toilet and towel tissues. The start-up is planned for the end of 2022.
The order is included in Valmet’s orders received of the second quarter 2021. The value of the order will not be disclosed.

Hayat Kimya is constantly utilizing the latest technology to reach the highest efficiency and lowest possible energy consumption.
“Our ambition is to continuously improve our performance with each installation, and the Advantage DCT technology is certainly supporting that target. Together with Valmet, we have established an efficient way of working and have been able to reach very smooth and fast start-ups. Ever since the start-ups, we have been running the machines at constant high speed and efficiency,” says Lütfi Aydin, Director, Paper Group, Hayat Kimya.
