Toscotec is in the heart of the Italian Tissue Valley.

Toscotec is located in Lucca, in the heart of the Italian paper district. Our headquarters cover an area of 60,000 m2 with 8 production buildings that include 5 paper machine assembly lines, a yankee dryer hood manufacturing building, a steel dryer can forming/welding/machining area, a machining area with traditional lathes and CNC’s for both large and small pieces, a shipping container loading center, and carpentry.

Toscotec also has a building specifically dedicated to the construction of Toscotec Steel Yankee Dryers. Our TT SYD Technology Center is an integrated 5,000 m2 plant. Its location, just a few kilometers away from Massa’s maritime port, was chosen because of its logistical advantage of ensuring easy access to the seaport for large diameter Yankees.

TT SYD Technology Center

Experience, development, quality.

The TT SYD Technology Center is located in Massa, 50 km from Lucca, a location chosen for its easy seaport access for quick overseas shipments.

The attention to the quality of raw materials and processes plays an essential role in the manufacturing industry and Toscotec has decided to dedicate a technology center to the design and production of the heart of a tissue machine: the Steel Yankee Dryer – TT SYD.

All TT SYDs are produced here.

The architectural heart of the facility is the central hall that houses all the stages of the production line: 180m long, 40m wide overall and up to 18m high. From metalworking and precision mechanical processing to thermal treatment in a 10m x 10m oven, all the tests and stamps are made on site according to European (PED), American (ASME), Chinese (CSEI) and Japanese (JIS) regulations. Toscotec can produce TT SYDs up to 26FT. The new center also houses technical and production offices, as well as a conference room and lounge for customers.

The importance of this Center is strategic not only from the production side but also from the logistic side. The facility is located 3 km from the seaport of Marina di Carrara (MS). It allows quick and easy shipments, reducing costs and delivery times.

We got the target: to increase efficiency and ensure the best product worldwide.
