Advanced Production Capacity to Strengthen the Corrugated Packaging Paper Sector
Oryx Kraft Mill Industries Limited has partnered with Alliance International to establish an *advanced integrated corrugated packaging paper production line with an annual capacity of 180,000 tonnes*. The project represents a significant investment aimed at strengthening the company’s manufacturing capabilities and addressing the growing demand for high-quality packaging papers.
The new production line comes at a time when corrugated packaging continues to expand across industries such as e-commerce, logistics, FMCG, food and beverage, retail and industrial packaging. The increasing preference for recyclable and resource-efficient packaging solutions is driving paper manufacturers to invest in modern, high-capacity production facilities.
4,850-mm Machine Designed for 1,000 m/min
A key highlight of the project will be the installation of a *4,850-mm-wide paper machine, designed to operate at a **maximum design speed of 1,000 metres per minute*. The machine configuration reflects the project’s focus on high productivity, operational efficiency and consistent product quality.
With its wide machine deckle and high design speed, the production line is expected to provide substantial manufacturing capability while enabling Oryx Kraft Mill Industries to meet the evolving requirements of the corrugated packaging market.
*Machinery delivery is scheduled for mid-2027*, marking an important milestone in the implementation of the project.
Focus on Technology and Efficiency
The partnership with Alliance International brings together project requirements and technological expertise to establish a modern production platform. The new line is expected to incorporate advanced manufacturing systems focused on productivity, process stability, quality control and efficient utilisation of resources.
As paper producers worldwide continue to modernise their operations, machine width and operating speed remain important factors in achieving economies of scale. The planned 4,850-mm machine operating at 1,000 m/min positions the project for significant production efficiency and competitiveness.
Supporting the Growing Packaging Paper Market
The global packaging industry is undergoing a continued shift towards fibre-based and recyclable packaging solutions. Corrugated packaging, in particular, remains a preferred choice for transportation and secondary packaging because of its combination of strength, versatility, recyclability and cost efficiency.
The addition of *180,000 tonnes of annual production capacity* will therefore contribute to the growing supply base for corrugated packaging papers and strengthen Oryx Kraft Mill Industries’ position within this market.
The project also underlines the importance of investment in modern paper-making technology as manufacturers seek to balance higher production volumes with quality, efficiency and sustainability.
Looking Ahead
With machinery delivery planned for mid-2027, the Oryx Kraft Mill Industries project will be closely watched by the packaging paper industry. The combination of *180,000 TPA capacity, a 4,850-mm-wide machine and a 1,000 m/min design speed* demonstrates a clear focus on building a modern and competitive manufacturing operation.
The partnership with Alliance International is expected to play an important role in bringing this advanced production line to fruition and supporting Oryx Kraft Mill Industries’ ambitions in the growing corrugated packaging paper market.
