Valmet Collaborates with Faderco Group to Enhance Tissue Production Capacity in Algeria
In a significant step forward for the tissue production industry in Northern Africa, Valmet has announced its collaboration with Faderco Group, a leading Algerian producer through its subsidiary WARAK. This partnership will result in the installation of an advanced Advantage DCT 200TS tissue line combined with a fully integrated automation package, signifying their commitment to enhancing production capabilities and sustainability in the region.
Faderco's latest investment, valued for its state-of-the-art technology, will be implemented at the group’s new facility in Mostaganem, Algeria. Once operational, this new line is expected to effectively double Faderco's tissue output capacity, adding an impressive 65,000 tons of high-quality tissue annually for both domestic consumption and export. This development comes at a time when the demand for efficient and sustainable tissue production continues to grow, particularly in the current competitive global market.
The Advantage DCT 200TS model from Valmet is designed with the latest technology and operational efficiency in mind. It aims to significantly reduce water and energy consumption while ensuring a consistent high-quality output. Such advancements are crucial, especially in regions where resource efficiency is paramount. Amor Habes, the CEO of Faderco Group, expressed optimism about the installation, highlighting that Valmet’s technology has already proven effective in their prior projects, particularly in reducing water usage and enhancing paper quality through its flexible Advantage ViscoNip press.
According to Habes, "Our existing tissue machines are already operating efficiently with low water consumption, and we are excited to expand our capacity with this new line, which aligns with our international growth strategy and commitment to sustainable production. The expansion represents a strategic move to meet the increasing demand in both Southern Europe and UK markets, as well as in Africa."
Valmet’s Sales Director, Kent Nika, mirrored this enthusiasm, stating, "We are proud to further strengthen our partnership with Faderco Group. This new line will enhance not only their production capabilities but also contribute to sustainable practices within the tissue manufacturing industry."
Technical specifications of the new line include a width of 5.6 meters and a design speed reaching 2,200 meters per minute, setting a robust framework for Faderco's future endeavors in tissue production. Valmet's comprehensive package will encompass a complete production line, including a stock preparation system and two Focus rewinders, with full automation provided through the Valmet DNA Automation System for optimized process and machine controls.
Moreover, Valmet will also oversee the complete engineering, installation, training, startup, and commissioning processes, ensuring that the transition to the new technology is seamless and efficient. The anticipated start-up of this next-generation tissue line is scheduled for the first quarter of 2027, with preparations already underway in mostaganem.
With this investment, Faderco Group aims to reinforce its status as a leading player in hygiene and tissue products within North Africa, currently managing a broad portfolio that caters to both local and international markets. Founded in 1986, the organization has grown to employ around 2,800 individuals and operates multiple production sites and lines across the region. This strategic partnership with Valmet is thus, not just an investment in technology, but also a commitment to pioneering sustainable practices in an evolving market.
