The large-format and packaging board sectors are the main focus point for Middleton Paper’s new multi-million pound investment.
A state-of-the-art Pasaban 1850 sheeter is due to be installed in March 2015, the third new sheeter bought by the company over the last ten years. In addition, its existing Pasaban 1650 sheeter will be upgraded to the latest specifications. As a result the sheeting capability will be significantly improved and the company said media sizes from 300 x 310mm up to 1850 x 2200mm will be readily available in 40 - 600gsm.
Jason Middleton, managing director said: “Our business continues to thrive and diversify and, thanks to our committed staff, we have a real sense of excitement for the future.”
Middleton Paper, including Vision Paper and Board, has a £40m turnover, supplying the UK market with around 80,000 tonnes of paper per year. The company has 120 employees, based at three UK sites.
