Case Study: Ittihad Paper Mill achieves reliable paper production with Valmet paper machine clothing

Ittihad Paper Mill reaches 88% operating efficiency with Valmet

Ittihad Paper Mill, the first and largest printing and writing paper mill in its region, required a complete production line and reliable paper machine clothing for its new greenfield plant. The challenge was to successfully establish and start up an entire paper-making operation in a region with no prior industry experience, a task that required a trusted technology partner. They selected Valmet as their vendor for the entire production line, including paper machine clothing and consumables.

Valmet implemented its OptiConcept M paper machine and served as the sole supplier for all paper machine clothing and consumables, providing a simplified, one-stop solution. This partnership, supported by Valmet's remote and on-site expertise, enabled a successful start-up despite pandemic challenges. The results were highly positive, with the mill achieving an 88% operating efficiency in its first year and establishing itself as a key regional supplier. Valmet's reliable products and support were credited with providing excellent runnability and peace of mind.
