First Quality Tissue announces that it will install two additional TAD (Through-Air-Dried) paper machines.
The first of the two TAD machines is being installed in the company's Anderson, South Carolina facility. Construction is in progress and a startup date of November 2015 is expected.
The location of the second TAD tissue line is First Quality's Lock Haven, Pennsylvania facility. The company is in discussion with the state of Pennsylvania and the local community to finalize details. Startup date for this line is expected to be December 2016.
In a press statement, First Quality noted, "The addition of these two machines will provide the company with the needed scale and the flexibility as well as the leadership to meet the demand of its customers and the market for ultra-premium tissue and towel products."
