To meet the growing demand in the US market, the Sofidel tissue paper group, is further strengthening its production capacity with a $185 million investment in its integrated plant in Circleville, Ohio.
The project involves the construction of a new building that will house the new Valmet DCT 200 paper mill machine, which will start operation in Q3 2025 with a production capacity of 70,000 metric tons per year.
The Circleville plant, which is already home to two paper mill machines Valmet Advantage NTTs, will reach a total production capacity of over 200,000 metric tons per year (+50%) and become Sofidel’s most important production site globally.
The Ohio plant was Sofidel’s first greenfield investment in the United States. To date, it is the Group’s most modern and sustainable plant. Located on a 280-acre (110-hectare) site, the plant sits in an area rich in water, gas, and electricity resources, close to a strategic logistics hub for distribution operators, with intermodal transport systems and major urban centers within a few hundred miles.
