“This capacity increase aims at improving our current service level but also, more strategically, enables us to offer to our customer an industrial platform on which they can build on to further grow their business,” said Fulvio Capussotti, executive vice president of Ahlstrom-Munksjö’s Filtration and Performance business area. “The plan will include investments on selected assets, re organization of planning practices and additional staffing.”
The Turin plant employs around 550 people and manufactures both filtration media and release papers for silicone coating.
