Fine Hygienic Holding Sets Guinness World Records Title In Abu Dhabi For Highest Tissue Paper Production Rate In 24-Hour Period

A record-breaking 2,623,738 metres of tissue paper were manufactured in a single day

DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES / ACCESSWIRE / September 11, 2023 / Fine Hygienic Holding (FHH) (https://FineHH.com), one of the world's leading wellness groups and manufacturers of hygienic paper products, set a new Guinness World Records title for the highest tissue paper production rate within a span of 24 hours. The feat was accomplished in Abu Dhabi, where 2,623,738 metres of top-grade tissue paper were manufactured in a single day, with the machine manufacturing 13.2 grams per square-metre (gsm) at 2,222 metres per minute - setting a new record for the industry.

Guinness World Records officials were present at Al Nakheel Paper Mill in the UAE capital to validate the achievement, which represents Fine Hygienic Holding's dedication to pushing the boundaries of innovation and production excellence. The officials conducted intensive and systematic inspections of critical equipment and process parameters. The event was also attended by Mohamed Ghareeb Al Hosani, Chief Experience Officer, Khalifa Industrial Zone Abu Dhabi (KIZAD).

"When you look at all the world-class multinational companies involved in the tissue industry for decades, with rich histories and experiences, it is difficult to adequately express the pride I have in our FHH team," said James Michael Lafferty, CEO of Fine Hygienic Holding. "We are a humble, second-generation family company, proud of our Palestinian and Jordanian roots. We have always believed our standards of excellence could compete with anyone, and this world record validates this. Fine can stand toe-to-toe with anyone in this industry globally and be competitive."

Samir Masoud, UAE Supply Chain Director at Fine Hygienic Holding, added: "Driven by a strong willingness to address the escalating demand for Tissue Jumbo Rolls, we embarked on a transformative journey aligned with our vision. We initiated the process in June 2022, where our paper mill team harnessed their expertise to increase the initial speed from 2,000m/min to 2,100m/min by August 2022. By March 2023, the team had reached an astonishing speed of 2,222m/min during a stable 24-hour run. That was the moment we invited the Guinness World Records team and we are grateful to them for taking the time to visit the mill and validate the record."

As part of the validation process, the Guinness World Records team carried out careful and vigilant technical studies and optimisation of the entire production system, starting from stock preparation, paper machine, winder, wrapping and packaging units.

It is worth mentioning that the record-breaking achievement was made possible due to the leadership of Khalil Shorbaji, Al Nakheel's Operation Manager, and Abdelhadi Alhader, Al Nakheel's Technical Manager.
