Italian tissue producer Sofidel Group has announced plans to build a new manufacturing facility in Circleville, Ohio (USA). The deal is subject to the necessary approvals and favorable due diligence.
The project represents the first U.S. greenfield project for Sofidel Group, which is the sixth largest manufacturer of tissue paper in the world.
“The U.S. is the most important market in the tissue paper industry, so selecting an ideal facility location was critical to our continued growth in American markets,” said Luigi Lazzareschi, CEO of Sofidel Group.
The planned 1.4 million-square-foot manufacturing facility is projected to be ready for operation in 2017.
