Cumbria
- High Skills, Low Costs
Kimberly-Clark is the global number one in facial tissues,
bathroom tissues, hand towels and wipes, and is the
largest tissue manufacturer in the world.
Mill Manager, Peter Taylor,
credits the adaptability of the
highly skilled workforce and
the low operating costs in Cumbria
which maintains his company's
competitiveness, as key factors
for success.
The Barrow-based paper mill
is expanding rapidly as a result
of this success. To help meet
increasing demand, the company
invested £6 million in
the plant in 1997 and a further £9
million in 1998 for a new mill
and machinery.
