Future mill in Goole, East Riding of Yorkshire, the UK
Grown in the Nordics, Made in UK
In 2023, we announced our plans for a new, state-of-the art tissue paper mill on land west of Goole, East Riding of Yorkshire in the UK.
The planned Goole site will use the best available technologies to manufacture tissue paper products for the UK and Irish markets, using fresh fibre pulp as the main raw material from managed forests in the Nordics. Occupying a site of around 200 acres, the mill will have the capacity to produce 240,000 tonnes of tissue paper, built in several phases over the next decade, serving both the professional and consumer markets – a level of production unrivalled in the UK.
This investment would significantly reduce the quantity of tissue paper 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.
The planned investment demonstrates Metsä Tissue’s long-term commitment to the UK as one of the largest tissue paper markets in Europe. The proposed mill is an opportunity to bring locally produced tissue paper products to the UK, increasing the country’s self-sufficiency in this sector by 30%.
Our target is for all products to be manufactured from fossil fuel free raw materials by 2030, and we aim for all our mills, including the new Goole facility, to operate without the use of fossil fuels by 2030.
