Tork manufacturer SCA has invested
£15m in state-of-the-art equipment
for its Tyne Valley production site.
The move will inject funding into the local economy and create employment.
The money has been used to fund two separate projects. The first is a new production line that enables SCA to produce Tork zigzag-fold towels in the UK for the first time, a move that will result in major carbon footprint reductions throughout the supply chain. The second project concerns a new de-inking plant which will increase the capacity of recycled tissue fibre in the UK by 'de-inking' fibres in recovered paper.
