requirements of our customers regarding quality and quantity and have thus achieved our aim.” Yinge Tissue Paper Co Ltd
was founded 20 years ago. Its Voith tissue machines are designed for an operating speed of 1,900 m/min and an annual production about 60,000 metric tons each with paper width of 5,550 mm on the reel section.
