Earlier this year Recard S.p.A. signed a contract with the Greek company MAXI S.A. for the supply of a second complete turnkey plant for the production of Tissue Paper.  Installation and start-up are scheduled for 2021. For MAXI this will be PM2 but for the owners of MAXI this is the third plant ordered from Recard  (the first was Papyros PM1, installed in 2006), as they were the founders and previously main shareholders of Papyros Paper Mill, nowaday belonging to an international Group.
