Chinese tissue producer Hengan International Group started up a TADVISION tissue machine supplied by Toscotec at their headquarters facility in Fujian. This is the second of two TAD (Through-Air-Drying) machines that Toscotec supplied to Hengan, of which the first came online in 2023 at their Xiaogan mill in Hubei.
Hengan International Group is currently operating the first two TAD machines installed in China. With Toscotec’s TADVISION lines, Hengan is effectively changing the narrative for top quality tissue in the Chinese market.
Their successful market launch of premium quality structured tissue in China has been establishing a new quality benchmark since 2024. Hengan’s TAD tissue features excellent bulk, softness and absorbency properties that are substantially higher than conventional and textured tissue.
Wang Xiangyang, Vice President of Hengan Group, comments, “From pulping to the first jumbo roll, it only took 28 minutes, an impressive result for the start-up of a TAD machine. The quality of Toscotec’s TAD machine is first-class, the project execution was professional and efficient, and the cooperation between the two teams was very smooth. On behalf of the group, I would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to Toscotec’s team. The production of two TAD machines not only enriches our group’s high-end product line, but also helps us continue occupying the high-end market.”
