Gayatri Shakti launches world’s first 9 GSM facial tissue production

INDIA – Gayatri Shakti Paper & Boards Limited has become the first mill globally to produce 9 GSM facial tissue on a commercial scale, marking a historic milestone in the tissue industry.

The achievement underscores the company’s commitment to technological innovation, product excellence, and setting new global benchmarks for quality and efficiency.

The Vapi-based, ISO 9001-certified company has leveraged its advanced manufacturing capabilities to deliver ultra-lightweight, high-quality facial tissues that meet evolving consumer expectations.

The 9 GSM tissues are expected to provide a premium soft feel while optimizing material usage, offering advantages in both performance and sustainability.

According to the company, the launch reflects years of research and development aimed at pushing the limits of tissue production technology.

Gayatri Shakti’s approach focuses on precision engineering, process optimization, and high-efficiency operations to consistently produce ultra-thin, durable tissues without compromising on strength or usability.

The company has also established a comprehensive sales and marketing network, both domestically and internationally.

Carefully selected dealers across India form a broad distribution infrastructure, ensuring the new tissue products reach diverse markets.

This dealer network also integrates facilities for coated duplex board and Kraft liner production, allowing Gayatri Shakti to leverage synergies in its paper production and marketing operations.

Industry observers note that ultra-lightweight tissues represent a growing segment in personal care, as brands and manufacturers increasingly pursue sustainable, cost-efficient products without compromising user experience.

Similar trends are evident globally, with companies such as Essity and Procter & Gamble exploring low-grammage tissues and recyclable packaging to reduce material consumption and environmental footprint.

The commercialization of 9 GSM facial tissues positions Gayatri Shakti as a technological leader in the tissue segment and highlights India’s capability to innovate in paper and hygiene products at a global scale.

The company aims to use this milestone to strengthen its domestic presence while expanding exports to international markets seeking premium, ultra-lightweight tissue solutions.

By pioneering commercial production of 9 GSM facial tissue, Gayatri Shakti demonstrates how advances in manufacturing technology can deliver both consumer value and environmental benefits, setting a new benchmark for the tissue industry worldwide.
