Tissue World Istanbul 2026: Production Questions Worth Bringing to the Show

Tissue World Istanbul is scheduled for November 18–19, 2026, at the Hilton Istanbul Bosphorus. The event brings together participants from across the tissue industry, including manufacturers, suppliers and buyers. Official event information.

For converters considering a new line or an upgrade, the most productive conversations often begin before arriving at the exhibition. A clear description of the current production bottleneck helps turn a broad equipment discussion into a useful technical comparison.

Buyers can start with three questions. First, what finished formats and packaging styles must the line deliver? Second, what parent-roll specifications and site conditions must the equipment accommodate? Third, where are the current losses occurring: converting, cutting, product transfer, packing or changeovers?

When comparing solutions, ask suppliers to explain the process sequence and the connection between machines. A quoted machine speed alone does not describe the output of a complete line. It is also worth discussing product changeover time, operator involvement, maintenance access and the support available after installation.

A focused visit should end with a list of information to verify after the show: a proposed layout, confirmed product specifications, utility requirements, scope of supply and the assumptions behind the quoted capacity. This approach helps converters move from interesting technology discussions to a production plan they can evaluate.
