Italian tissue manufacturer Industrie Cartarie Tronchetti (ICT) announces the start-up of its first tissue paper machine at its new greenfield plant in Deeside, United Kingdom. This important milestone marks a key step in the company’s growth journey and further strengthens its presence in the UK market.
In recent months, the site had already begun production activities with converting lines and the new automated warehouse—essential, technologically advanced components supporting efficiency, reliability, and process optimization.
With the start-up of the paper machine, the plant now completes the integration of the production cycle, enabling greater flexibility and integrated management from paper production to converting and through to finished product logistics.
ICT, based in Lucca, Italy, has an annual production capacity of approximately 620,000 ton. The company operates facilities in Italy, Poland, Spain, and France, producing tissue products under the Foxy brand and for private labels.
