Northwood Group launched Northwood Consuma Tissue (NCT) in December 2022 and has now announced the expansion of its converting capability with the purchase of a new 14-acre site housing a 235,000 sq ft facility in Ellesmere Port, Cheshire. This will significantly increase its available output of toilet tissue and kitchen towel.
A brand new, high speed, state-of-the-art and fully automated line will be commissioned and operational during Q3 of 2023. Phased installation of a further three lines will give the site a total finished roll product output of more than 55,000 tonnes per annum.
In addition to mainstream toilet tissue and kitchen towel output, NCT in Grantham will retain its point of difference in facial, toilet tissue and kitchen towel with specialist print, lotion, fragrance and added-value capability for events and seasons.
Northwood Group has planning approval at the Disley Tissue Mill where advanced plans are in place to expand its paper-making facilities with the installation of a new 100% virgin paper machine with an output capacity of 70,000 tonnes. This is additional to the existing four paper mills which manufacture some 100,000mt of paper made from 100% recycled fibre across the UK and Spain.
