First Quality Tissue announces major expansion initiative. The expansion includes a commitment to install two new state-of-the-art Thru-Air-Dried (TAD) paper machines with associated converting facilities at a new location to be announced in the near future. The company estimates the first paper machine to be operational in 2027; with the second machine coming online approximately eighteen months thereafter.

This new investment will add additional capacity to First Quality’s existing operations; which currently includes eight TAD machines at two manufacturing sites located in Lock Haven, Pennsylvania and Anderson, South Carolina.

The First Quality Group of companies is a closely held, diversified group of companies manufacturing, selling and distributing branded and private label absorbent hygiene, paper and packaging products into the healthcare, retail, and commercial channels.
