Advantage ViscoNip press 100

What is one hundred?

History is divided in pieces of a hundred and if you are lucky, it can be a lifetime. One hundredth of a second can be the difference between forever being remembered and finishing second.

One hundred is a milestone. A magical number. Something worth celebrating.

So, what is one hundred?

For us, it’s celebrating the Valmet Advantage ViscoNip press by saying thank you, times one hundred.

Owner of number 100

Papel San Francisco recently invested in their seventh tissue machine from Valmet. This was worth celebrating a little extra since the delivery includes the hundredth Advantage™ ViscoNip® press to be manufactured by Valmet.
