Valmet will deliver a third Advantage ThruAir Drying (TAD) tissue machine to Irving Consumer Products' Macon, Georgia mill, enhancing its capacity to produce ultra-premium tissue products for the North American market. Scheduled for a 2027 startup, the $600 million Phase 3 expansion includes new converting lines, a fully automated warehouse, and will create 100 jobs. This builds on a strong partnership between Valmet and Irving, following the successful installation of two TAD machines in 2019 and 2021. The new production line will increase Irving's annual tissue production by 75,000 tons, solidifying its role as a leading household paper and baby diaper producer in North America.
