SCA has held an official ceremony to launch its 60,000 tonne/yr tissue PM at its Sovetsk mill in the Tula region of western Russia. The 5.4 m wide PM, supplied by A.Celli spa, complements the existing 30,000 tonne/yr PM, which makes recycled fiberbased tissue.Apart from the new PM, the Euro 130 million ($176 million) project includes two tissue converting lines which were launched a year ago. Most of the plant’s production is meant for the Russian market, with the rest going to the CIS markets.
SCA also operates a tissue plant in Svetogorsk which manufactures some 43,000 tonnes/yr, and a personal care plant in Veniov, in the Tula region, which produces Libero and TENA products.
