Metso’s Pulp, Paper and Power business, the future Valmet, supplies a complete tissue line for the Algerian company Faderco. The order also includes an automation solution for machine, process and quality controls. The tissue line will be installed on Faderco’s new site at Setif, Algeria. The start-up of the tissue machine is planned for the second quarter of 2015. The value of the order will not be disclosed. A part of the order is included in Metso’s Pulp, Paper and Power segment’s third quarter 2013 orders received, and the automation package in Automation segment's fourth quarter 2013 orders received.
The order is a result of a long and thorough planning and market evaluation process done by Faderco. "After thorough investigations and evaluation we came to the conclusion that Metso is the right partner for Faderco for such an important project which will establish high quality tissue paper production on the Algerian market,” says Amor Habes, owner of Faderco.

The detailed preparation done already in an early stage will certainly contribute to the success of this project. We are proud to be part of the growth of the Faderco company,” says Jan Erikson, Vice President Sales, Pulp, Paper and Power, Metso.
