The UK’s RHL (Richard Hough Ltd.) has achieved a massive coup with the commissioning of a viscose staple fibre plant in Fujian, China, in which all four production lines are equipped with the company’s industry-leading Nollap dewatering rolls.
Fujian is a greenfield site operated by Sateri, one of the world’s biggest producers of textile cellulosics. Its capacity of 200,000 tons per year adds to existing Sateri facilities in China and will spearhead a competitive drive into wider markets, including speciality nonwovens.
