Valmet's intelligent technology operating with low carbon emissions fits perfectly together with Henan Longyan Paper's efficient and environmentally friendly concept, contributing to the local economy. We are looking forward to collaborating with Valmet again," says Yuzhou Wang, Vice General Manager, Henan Longyuan Paper.

Valmet's delivery includes a bottom dilution headbox and a Tri-nip press section and an automation package, including Valmet DNA machine controls (MCS), IQ Quality control system (QCS), dilution profiler for headbox, steam profiler, as well as Valmet services.
