The new tissue machine, Advantage DCT 100, supplied by Valmet, a leading global developer and supplier of technologies, automation, and services for the pulp, paper, and energy industries, was successfully started at PT Suparma Tbk, a leading supplier of high-quality board, laminated wrapping kraft, and tissue paper, in Surabaya, Indonesia.

The Advantage DCT 100 tissue machine is expected to increase the company’s production of bathroom tissue, towel, and diaper tissue for the Indonesian market, by 25,000 tonnes per year. The new tissue line fulfils the company’s ambition to produce sustainable products of high quality in a cost-efficient way, Valmet said in a media statement.

Edward Sopanan, director, PT Suparma Tbk said, “Working together with Valmet has been a priceless experience, and we learned a lot during the project. Valmet is known to be the leader in paper machinery and we are proud to own one of their machines. It is undeniable that Valmet managed to deliver a state of the art machine. During the initial run we managed to produce commercial grade tissue on the second day. It was a pleasure to work together with Valmet’s team and we are pleased with the result.”

Stefan Ziegel, project manager, Valmet Tissue Mills business unit said, “It is a pleasure to work with PT Suparma. The PT Suparma’s team is skilled and determined, and they take pride in what they accomplish. The good interaction between our teams, from project start to installation and start-up, was the key to success.” (GK)
