Valmet will supply two OptiConcept M container board making lines with extensive packages of automation, services and industrial internet applications to Zhejiang Shanying Paper in Jiaxing City, Zhejiang province, China.
The orders are included in Valmet’s orders received of the second quarter 2021. The values of the orders will not be disclosed.
The new board making lines PM 16 and PM 17 continue the expanding of Zhejiang Shanying Paper’s business in Zhejiang area. The start-ups are scheduled from the end of 2022 to early 2023.
These deliveries at Jiaxing Mill will already be Valmet’s 11th and 12th OptiConcept M board making line deliveries to Zhejiang Shanying Paper. The 10 earlier machines were or will be delivered to customer’s different sites. The latest one (PM 53) was published earlier this year.
“Our cooperation with Valmet has been excellent, and it is based on mutual trust. We are really happy about the already started-up machine lines of Huazhong PM 21 and PM 23. This was a decisive factor when we were choosing the supplier for PM 16 and PM 17. We are expecting to have excellent support for the start-up and the line optimization after the start-up with the extensive automation package,” says Wu Ming Wu, Chairman and CEO of Shanying International.
