The new machine will allow Tork to increase the local production capacities several folds. The machine is developed according to up-to-date technology; most of the operations are automatically run, thus increasing the production flow and product quality as well.
Currently, the new machine is producing only 1-ply ZZ products, but 2-ply production will be launched in May 2009 which will further diversify the local assortment of Russian Tork products.
