Twinsaver investing R580m in new equipment
Branded tissue products manufacturer Twinsaver has committed R580-million to the installation of new production equipment at its Bellville and Kliprivier operations.
It has already completed the installation of an R80-million two-ply converting line at its Bellville factory, in the Western Cape, which will double two-ply production capacity and create additional employment across the tissue value chain.
Twinsaver will also invest R500-million in the construction of new facilities and the installation of a new tissue manufacturing machine at its Kliprivier, Gauteng, operation.
The project, which will start in early 2017, is expected to take 15 months to complete and will result in output of more than 27 000 t/y.
“A key element of our strategic plan is enhancing manufacturing capability and productivity in creating sustainable value for the business’s stakeholders.
“By investing in the best manufacturing technologies available and upskilling our employees, we are entrenching our position as the leading tissue producer in South Africa and sub-Saharan Africa,” says Twinsaver CEO Garth Towell.
