The new machine can produce different types of products, such as paper towels, toilet paper, napkins and wipes.

“The machine can use both virgin and recycled fibres as raw materials and has 50 percent more production capacity than the existing machine,” Essity writes.

“This is very positive for our employees and for Lilla Edet. The investment strengthens the plant’s competitiveness and shows that Lilla Edet has an important role in Essity’s long-term production plans,” says Christian Carlsson, plant manager at Essity in Lilla Edet, in a comment.

The production facility currently employs approximately 400 people.
