Xerium Technologies, Inc., a leading global provider of industrial consumable products and services, recently celebrated the shipment of its 1000th Formsoft tissue forming fabric at its Kentville, Canada plant.

The globally successful and patented Formsoft technology has enabled tissue makers to produce their products with higher quality and at increased efficiency. Formsoft is one of the fastest growing products the company has ever launched into the market, according to a press release.

Bill Butterfield, EVP and CTO of Xerium said, “Formsoft continues to provide our customers with excellent machine speeds and outstanding sheet softness. Like our other innovations, Xerium has developed Formsoft technology to benefit its customers by lowering their operational cost while improving operational performance and overall efficiency. The unique tissue fabric, with patented warp and weft structure, consistently delivers top drainage performance for a stronger, yet softer, tissue product. It combines improved sheet forming and fibre retention benefits with high dimensional stability and life potential resulting in optimised tissue machine runnability.” (GK)
