The order also included supply of the complete stock preparation plant, automation, and drives. The tissue machine and its components were manufactured at ANDRITZ production sites in Europe and China. With this turnkey delivery, ANDRITZ is once more strengthening its position as one of the leading suppliers of tissue machines and services to the Chinese paper industry.
