GRAZ - International technology group Andritz has received an order from Nigeria-based Fouani to supply two baby diaper lines for its facilities in Lagos. The lines will produce a wide range of high-quality diaper products with absorbent cores made of pulp and SAP (super absorbent polymer). Start-up is scheduled for 2022.
The two baby diaper lines feature the most advanced forming technology for the absorbent core and SAP dosing, says Andritz. The lines are equipped with a web tensioning control system and quality check devices to ensure a high level of production quality. Andritz will also provide services for installation and start-up of the machines.
Once the lines have been started up, Fouani says it will be a baby diaper manufacturer with a strong local footprint. The target is to serve the market in Nigeria with high quality products produced locally.
Fouani Nigeria Ltd was established in 2001 as a subsidiary of the Fouani Group. It has grown to be the sole distributor of LG, Hisense, and Maxi products in Nigeria, winning several awards for its proactive market penetration. With this second order, Fouani said it confirms its trust in and reliable partnership with Andritz.
