Italian tissue manufacturer Industrie Cartarie Tronchetti (ICT Group) has announced the official start-up of tissue production in the United Kingdom after starting up its New Greenfield site in Deeside, north Wales.
Production was ramped up during the last few months, with the converting lines and the new automated warehouse starting operations.
The start-up of the paper machine (PM41) completed the integration of the production cycle, from tissue paper production to converting, through to finished product logistics.
ICT said the milestone marks “a key step” in its growth and strengthens its presence in the UK market.
ICT is headquartered in Lucca, Italy, and has a production capacity of approximately 780,000tpy, operating from plants in Italy, Poland, Spain, and France and the UK.
