The tissue paper industry continues to witness investments in production infrastructure as manufacturers focus on expanding capacity and improving operational efficiency.
Reflecting this trend, Sharma Fabricators and Erectors (P) Ltd. (SFE) has recently completed the installation of five Yankee cylinders at tissue mills located in India and Saudi Arabia.
The projects were executed over a five-month period and involved coordination between engineering teams, equipment suppliers, and mill personnel. Yankee cylinders remain a critical component in tissue manufacturing, influencing machine performance, energy efficiency, and product quality.
The installations come at a time when tissue producers across several regions are investing in modernization and capacity enhancement projects to meet growing demand for hygiene and tissue products. The successful completion of multiple installations within a relatively short timeframe highlights the industry’s ongoing focus on operational reliability and technology upgrades.
India and the Middle East continue to emerge as important growth markets for tissue manufacturing, supported by rising consumption, industrial development, and investments in advanced production facilities. Engineering and installation service providers play a key role in ensuring that new equipment is integrated efficiently and commissioned according to project schedules.
With the completion of these Yankee cylinder installations, the respective mills are expected to strengthen their production capabilities and support future growth objectives in an increasingly competitive tissue market.
