Brazil's Ipel schedules new 26,400-tonne/yr tissue PM startup in April

摘要

Brazilian tissue producer Ipel (indaial Papel Embalagens) confirmed to RISI that it will start up its new paper machine No. 4 in April this year, after several delays since 2008, when the project was first announced. The new PM has capacity to produce 26,400 tonnes/yr of tissue paper, more than doubling the company's current output of around 24,000. According to Ipel's marketing manager, Luciana Dobuchak, the delays occurred as the investment has been carried out with the company's own resources only. "We wanted to avoid a debt increase or any financial commitment," she explained.
