C&S Zhongshun Dazhou IntelliTissue lines successfully started

On August 3, 2024, Zhongshun Jierou’s base in Qu County, Dazhou City, Sichuan Province, China, celebrated another significant milestone. Following the successful start-up of the first Valmet IntelliTissue 1600 tissue line, TM1, on June 13, the second line of the same type, TM2, was launched less than two months later. The official commissioning of the TM2 production line not only marks the successful implementation of the first phase of the 300,000-ton pulp and paper integration project in Dazhou but also demonstrates the solid steps taken by Zhongshun Jierou in accelerating industrial upgrading, deepening market layout, and continuously improving product quality and production efficiency.

We are delighted to be working with Valmet again at our Dazhou site. 

We are very satisfied with the high quality and low media consumption of the 12 IntelliTissue tissue production lines we have previously used at our Yunfu, Tangshan, and Xiaogan sites. The two advanced Valmet tissue production lines will help Zhongshun Jierou further enhance its product competitiveness and maintain its profitability,” says Lin Tiande, Vice President of Zhongshun Jierou.

“We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to Zhongshun Jierou for their long-term trust and support! During the implementation of the first phase of the Dazhou project, the project teams of both sides adhered to the spirit of craftsmanship, kept improving, and worked together to ensure the rapid commissioning of the project. IntelliTissue 1600 Premium is a high-end, environmentally friendly tissue production line, which always adheres to the perfect combination of quality, energy consumption, and efficiency, helping customers achieve sustainable industry competitiveness with comprehensive performance. Looking to the future, Valmet looks forward to working side by side with Zhongshun Jierou to create artworks in paper machines with innovation and in paper towels with quality,” says Zhang Guoxiang, Senior Sales Manager at Valmet’s Changzhou plant.

“The start-up of TM2 was smooth, and the teams on both sides were fully prepared to achieve the first jumbo roll within the set time.

This is the best interpretation of the tacit cooperation between our two sides. We will continue to provide fast and comprehensive services and jointly defend our leading position in the market,” says Van We, Project Manager at Valmet’s Changzhou plant.
