Ahlstrom said that it will make an investment to increase the flexibility of its Binzhou wallcoverings products line in China.
Following the modification, the production line will be capable of producing filtration products in addition to wallcovering materials. The annual capacity of the line will be about 20,000 metric tons of wallcovering or filtration products and the re-engineering work is expected to be completed by April 2016.
"This investment reinforces our commitment to our customers in the filtration and wallcovering materials markets in China and elsewhere in the region," says Fulvio Capussotti, Executive Vice President, Building and Energy business area. "It's also vital for us to make the Binzhou line more versatile to ensure business agility."
The Binzhou wallcoverings production line was inaugurated in May 2014.
