Progroup AG has officially started-up a new corrugated sheet board plant in the UK. The plant in Ellesmere Port will produce up to 235,000 tonnes of corrugated board a year, making it one of the most efficient and powerful of its type in the world.
“The new plant in Ellesmere Port will provide us with a more than competitive production facility delivering exemplary, efficient process workflows,” says Jürgen Heindl, CEO and Chairman of the Board of Progroup AG. “We are confident that the UK will continue to remain an important market within Europe in the future,” emphasised Heindl.
The new corrugated will replace the previous corrugator in Ellesmere Port, which once wrote the first chapter in the company’s history as the machine in Offenbach (Germany). It was shipped to the UK in 2008 and has been running there ever since. Over its 25 years of production, the machine has manufactured more than 3,500,000 Tm of corrugated board.
