According to the World Association of Newspapers, China newspaper sales continue to perform well, rising more than 20% over the past five years. In keeping with newspaper growth in China, Guangzhou Paper, one of China's largest newsprint producers, has recently modernized machines at its old in-town location in the heart of the city of Guangzhou, and installed a 400,000 tonne/yr machine 50 km outside of the city in the NanSha district. The company will move its PM 8 and PM1 (capacity 300,000 tonnes/yr) from the old location to the new. Kadant has played an important role in improving runnability and stability for all machines, and boosted productivity and energy savings for PM 8. Looking to the future Guangzhou Paper is looking to exceed 1 million tonnes/yr within the next few years, and is open to considering twice that in the coming decades. It remains committed to producing quality grades from waste paper.
