Valmet Converting: Chinese firm places E9m order for slitters
China’s Jiangsu Shuangliang Packaging Material Company has ordered E9m of film slitter machinery from Valmet Converting. The multiple machine order comprises one 6.7 metre wide and three 8.3 metre wide Atlas primary film slitters. The four machines will process up to 120,000 tonnes of BOPP film a year. Most of the film is destined for the packaging industry. Valmet claims the project represents the largest single investment in BOPP film production lines in the world, and says the deal is its biggest ever sales contract in China.
