A new state of the art tissue paper mill is planned by Metsa in the UK through a landmark investment of hundreds of millions of pounds.
The planned tissue paper mill in Goole, East Riding of Yorkshire in the UK, will use the best available technologies to manufacture 240,000 tons of tissue paper a year for the UK and Irish markets, using fresh fibre pulp as the main raw material from sustainably managed forests in the Nordics.
This investment would deliver the largest tissue mill in the UK and significantly reduce the quantity of tissue products that are currently imported into the UK and Ireland each year. When operating at full capacity the mill will create 400+ direct jobs at the facility, as well as thousands more across the supply chain and the local economy.
“Metsä Tissue’s investment is good for Yorkshire, good for our economy and good for sustainability. This announcement is another example of the UK being the first choice for European investment and delivers on my commitment to grow the economy, creating better-paid jobs and opportunity right across the country.” – The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Rishi Sunak
