The new Advantage DCT 200TS tissue machine, with the capacity to produce 65,000 tons per year of high-quality tissue, will be installed at Faderco Group's new mill in Mostaganem, Algeria.
Jan. 14, 2026 - Valmet will supply Algerian tissue producer WARAK (a subsidiary of the Faderco Group) with an Advantage DCT 200TS tissue line combined with an extensive automation package. This is the company's third tissue line order from Valmet which will boost capacity and set new standards for efficiency, sustainability, and quality in Northern Africa.
The new line will be installed at Faderco Group's new mill in Mostaganem, Algeria, and it is expected to double the company's total tissue output, adding an additional 65,000 tons per year of high-quality tissue for both domestic and export markets.
According to Valmet, the Advantage DCT 200TS comes packed with the latest stock preparation, tissue making and automation solutions. For tissue producers, this translates into low energy and water consumption, consistent high-quality output and comprehensive support.
"Energy and water efficiency are critical in our region, and Valmet's technology has already proven its performance across our previous installations," said Amor Habes, CEO of Faderco Group. "Our existing tissue machines operate with low water consumption, and the flexible Advantage ViscoNip press has demonstrated its ability to reduce energy use while enhancing paper quality.
"These technologies directly support our ambition to expand our international footprint, by enabling reliable, high-quality production for demanding export markets across Southern Europe, the UK, and Africa," Habes added.
Valmet's scope of delivery will comprise a complete tissue production line featuring stock preparation system, the Advantage DCT 200TS tissue machine, two Focus rewinders and auxiliaries.
The new tissue machine line will have a width of 5.6 meters and a design speed of 2,200 m/min.
The delivery also includes an automation package covering Valmet DNA Automation System with process and machine controls.
Complete mill engineering, installation supervision, training, start-up and commissioning are also part of the delivery.
Start-up of the new tissue line is scheduled for the first quarter of 2027.
Valmet has a global customer base across various process industries and is a leading global developer and supplier of process technologies, automation, and services for the pulp, paper, and energy industries.
