The journey with Crown Paper Mill started in 2016, when Ittihad International Investment LLC acquired the Mill. At that time, CPM had two machines with a limited capacity of around 35,000 tons per year. We saw the opportunity for growth, and after undergoing through a meticulous feasibility and market study, we decided to expand and invest in a third machine.
Today, CPM has proudly reached around a total combined annual capacity of 100,000 tons producing the best quality Tissue Paper Jumbo Rolls from all three machines. We are proud that the Mill houses the latest technology and machinery supplied by world’s leading Tissue Paper Machine technology supplier. As a result, we are now known for supplying only the best quality tissue jumbo roll, and high demand for our products.
Obviously, with bigger capacity comes bigger challenges. Nevertheless, with the teams’ dedication and foresight, we managed to position ourselves as the Ideal Tissue Paper Partner and has become a market leader in the Middle East. Today, we export 66% of our production globally and constantly strive to enter new markets.
As far as internal efficiency is concerned, we are proud to say that CPM technical team managed to make vital adjustments on the PM3 machine which resulted in exceeding the design speed and production capacity. Today, the PM3 machine speed has increased from 2000 to 2100 rpm which subsequently increased the production capacity by approximately 8 tons per day.
The tissue business is constantly growing in the Middle East and surrounding areas, and we aim to cash in on the demand that the market is offering. The wheels are set in motion to launch a new mill in Saudi Arabia and this expansion will be adding another 60,000 tons to our existing capacity, which will make us the largest producer in the Middle East.
Our goals are simple— be the ideal tissue paper partner by offering only the best quality products with the best price and timely delivery and become a market leader while maintaining the highest standards and sustainable practices.
