ENKA signed a contract for Phase 1 of the Shotton Paper Mill Project on the Deeside Industrial Estate in Flintshire, North Wales for Shotton Mill Limited owned by Modern Karton/EREN Holding, one of the biggest manufacturers of paper, cardboard and corrugated packaging products in the sector.
The project construction site is bounded to the north, west and south by Weighbridge Road/A548. It is bounded to the south by an adjacent industrial site owned and operated by Tata Steel Limited. The River Dee is located approximately 1.1 km from the south of the site.
The location of the 1st phase of the planned project activities includes the paper production machinery, storage area and shipment area of the existing paper mill.
The conversion project will transform the site from newsprint paper production to containerboard and tissue paper production. The project includes decommissioning and demolition of existing structures, and construction of new facilities to accommodate new manufacturing equipment.
In Phase 1 of the project activities, a new cardboard factory will be constructed, including a new paper mill, warehouse and dispatch area, combined heat and power (CHP) building and effluent treatment plant.
