British tissue manufacturer Northwood has acquired the complete mill and converting facility of Kimberly-Clark’s (K-C) Coleshill, England-based plant, as well as the Flint, Wales-based facility of K-C Personal Care.
The completed agreement includes the purchase of the 98-acre site, its 30,000tpy tissue mill, a tissue converting plant for rolled and folded products, a National Distribution Centre and the Flint factory.
The move will expand Northwood’s capabilities in the AfH and consumer markets, enabling the business to extend its existing product ranges and widen its value chain.
Operating as Northwood Tissue (Flint), the site will be integrated with Northwood’s AfH and Consumer Divisions.
Paul Fecher, founder and Chairman of Northwood, said: “This is another important acquisition and brings renewed opportunity for our businesses to expand in many traditional and new sectors.
“We look forward to populating the site and bringing it into full production under our UK management and ownership.”
With operations across the hygienic sector in the UK and Europe, Northwood supplies parent reels into the paper hygiene sector and is also one of the leading UK manufacturers in the paper hygiene market.
