Cartiera Confalone is the protagonist of an important investment that will see the construction of a new advanced production base in Montoro, Avellino, with leading-edge tissue technology.

The plant includes an automated warehouse and one AHEAD 2.2 tissue line supplied by Toscotec on a turnkey basis. Cartiera Confalone’s Montoro mill represents the biggest tissue investment in the south of Italy in the last twenty years and it will give new impetus to the local job market.

The new tissue line consists of one AHEAD 2.2 tissue machine, equipped with TT NextPress, a second generation TT SYD and gas-fired hoods designed with numerous stages of energy recovery. The sheet trim is 2,850 mm, the design speed is 2,200 m/min and the production capacity is over 35,000 tpy.

The tissue line is dedicated to the production of toilet tissue, napkins and towels and it will process 100% pre-dried virgin pulp and converting broke.

The start-up is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2020.

The turnkey scope includes two newly designed OPTIMA 2200 slitter rewinders.

Cartiera Confalone already has a Toscotec MODULO-PLUS tissue machine, installed since 1999 at its mill in Maiori in the province of Salerno, in 2013 the tissue machine’s cast-iron Yankee was replaced with a TT SYD in 2013. 

Cartiera Confalone is a family-run business focusing on the production of toilet paper, kitchen roll, napkins and jumbo rolls of various width. Cartiera Confalone’s products are distributed throughout Italy, in particular in the centre and in the south of Italy, with a turnover that in recent years has seen a significant increase both in Northern Italy, in the U.E. and extra U.E.
