The plant was converted from making specialty paper grades to making tissue in 2022. "The Duluth mill's new tissue machine, which was installed in 2022 and started-up in January of 2023, is an ANDRITZ PrimeLine W 2000 with a design speed of 2,000 meters/min and working width of 5.65 meters. The new machine also has the capability to produce tissue using virgin fiber, 100% recycled fiber, or varying blends."
