Ukraine-based JCS Kochavinska Paper Factory has diversified into virgin tissue paper production after investing €4m in a Maflex-supplied Hermes line.
The scope of supply includes a turn-key solution 600m/min consumer converting line and a packaging line, complete with the Heracle automatic change embossing technology.
According to the machinery supplier, JCS Kochavinska made the investment so it could enter the top-quality virgin tissue paper market, having previously just produced and converted recycled paper.
Overall, the investment will double the converting company`s annual production capacity.
JCS Kochavinska is one of the Ukraine`s largest tissue producers and produces AfH, At-Home and private label tissue products, exporting globally.
