GAW supports one of the largest Chinese mining companies with expansion
The Fushun Mining Group, founded over a century ago, is one of the largest mining companies in China. Its main products are coal, shale oil and mining machinery but it is also expanding into other business segments. Its investment in the construction of a paper machine, which was commissioned in autumn 2011 in the city of Fushun in the north-eastern province of Liaoning for the production of 60,000 tonnes of tissue paper every year, was the company’s first step in the paper industry. The operating subsidiary has been named Hupo Paper.
In addition to the tissue paper machine, another machine is also currently being set up for the production of 300,000 tonnes of recycled corrugated cardboard per year, for which GAW will supply the starch treatment units, working stations and processing systems for wet end chemicals. One of the main challenges with this project is the tight schedule with a delivery deadline of spring 2012.
Hupo Paper is a major part of the current regeneration and reconstruction taking place in the paper industry in north-east China, following its deterioration in the late nineties when, primarily because of outdated infrastructure, many major state paper factories lost their competitive viability and closed down. GAW is proud that its decades of experience in processing liquid and powder-based products for paper manufacturing has enabled it to acquire a new, aspiring paper producer as a customer with Hupo Paper.
