Timeline
November 2 - 3, 2026: Tissue Summit North America takes place in Green Bay.
Market Landscape
The introduction of the FPO Fiber Potential Analyzer Online marks a transition toward automated process control that challenges manual sampling methods used throughout the tissue industry. This push toward digitalization positions the company against legacy monitoring systems that rely on periodic human intervention.
Tissue manufacturers attending the summit can evaluate how these analytical tools may reduce chemical costs and speed up production changeovers. For the end consumer, improvements in tactile sensation analysis could lead to softer tissue products reaching the market.
The takeaway
Manufacturers looking to improve bottom-line efficiency should prioritize integrating real-time data systems to reduce material waste. Consistent monitoring of fiber potential and tactile qualities remains a key lever for driving both cost savings and product quality improvements.
