tailored automation solutions will enhance total performance and keep production
in peak condition. This is a significant milestone for local tissue production
in the UAE," says Helmut Berger, General Manger, ADNPM.
"The Advantage NTT technology provides unique flexibility as it produces both
conventional tissue as well as textured products with premium-quality softness

reception has been very positive. We are very proud to support ADNPM in their
