Valmet has been chosen as supplier of a complete tissue production line by CMPC Tissue S.A. of Santiago, Chile. The tissue line will be installed at the mill of its subsidiary Absormex CMPC Tissue S.A. de CV in Mexico. 
 
The new production line is planned to be started up mid 2015, and it will add 60,000 tons of high quality toilet and towel grades to the company's annual production. Valmet has previously delivered an Advantage DCT200 tissue line to CMPC Tissue's Talagante mill in Chile.
 
The value of the order will not be disclosed. This kind of production line is typically valued at EUR 20-40 million, depending on the scope of the delivery and the production output. The order is included in Valmet's first quarter 2014 orders received.
 
"The Latin American tissue market is growing both in respect of capacity and quality. Valmet has the tissue making technologies to meet current and future demands of the market," says Jan Erikson, Vice President of Sales, Valmet. "We are very pleased that CMPC chose us as their supplier and selected Valmet's Advantage tissue technology to increase their current production in means of quality and capacity."
