ICT France to start up new tissue machine in early 2025
ICT France is nearing the completion of its expansion project at its Pannes mill, south of Paris, where a new tissue machine is being installed. The machine's centerpiece, the Yankee, was successfully installed in October, with commissioning expected early next year. The new tissue machine will have a capacity of 70,000 tons per year, doubling the mill's production capacity. The expansion also includes enlarging the reel and finished product warehouses and the converting area. ICT France is a subsidiary of the Italian ICT Group, which is also planning an integrated tissue mill in the UK and has received approval for a €50m expansion at its Italian plant.
