PAPER DISPOSABLES | ESSENTIAL SUPPLY PRODUCTS RAISING THE BAR
Essential Supply Products (esp) tell us how they are continuing to make a name for themselves as independent manufacturers and convertors of disposable tissue products. Here, the Malvern-based company fill us in on some of the big changes that are coming its way.
Essential Supply Products (esp) Ltd are one of the leading independent manufacturers and convertors of disposable tissue products in the UK. Based in Malvern, Worcestershire the company was formed in 1990 and introduced the Enigma brand of paper products to the industry.
Now in its 26th year, esp has gone from strength to strength, with an accelerated sales programme in place and a vision of continuous improvement, the company is settling into the next stage of its growth plans.
The company’s move to Blackmore Park, expected for Summer 2016, will consolidate all operations, allowing the company to function with increased efficiency moving forward. The new facility will incorporate a state of the art manufacturing plant, increased storage and distribution area alongside purpose built offices – which will be the operational heart of esp – and include a dedicated sales floor, an operations floor, meeting rooms, visitors centre, gym, shower rooms and a staff training space.
Each year, esp has grown and expanded its business whilst keeping its profile as an important local employer – 93% of staff come from the local county. Throughout the last few months, esp has recruited new members to the Sales Team, who cover all areas of the UK and Ireland, along with two National Accounts Managers to facilitate the company’s growth into new markets.
“Now in its 26th year, esp has gone
from strength to strength, with an accelerated sales programme in place and a vision of continuous improvement.”
New markets and opportunities have been identified and operational changes will be put in place to allow esp to approach new customers as well as serving its current customer base. These opportunities include the introduction of new product ranges. As well as paper products, 2016 will see esp shift focus to include a wider range of dispensers. The first of these will be the Origin range of dispensers which will be available Spring 2016 and will be fully showcased at the ISSA/Interclean Show in Amsterdam. Running from 10th to 13th May, esp will be on stand 11.728 with the entire Origin range on display.
The new site will provide over 4,000 square metres for production, around 10,500 square metres for the warehouse and just over 500 square metres of office and welfare facilities. The acquisition of Blackmore Park is a fantastic opportunity for the company, which is keen to continue its local success story.

Origin from esp is an all-encompassing group of dispensers, which includes economically priced system dispensers within an entry level washroom range. Made from robust ABS plastic, these contemporary dispensers are smart enough for everyday washrooms and strong enough for busy commercial facilities. To compliment the Origin range, there will also be a range of
stainless steel dispensers on show in Amsterdam. This will be closely followed by Evolution, a range of cost-in-use system dispensers which promise to be innovative and stylish whilst saving the end user a significant amount.
Elsewhere, esp has used its ISO accreditations, ISO9001:2008 Quality and ISO14001:2004 Environmental Management (achieved in 2014 and maintained in 2015) to introduce new processes which ensure the company continues to meet and exceed all expectations. As a founding member of the CHSA soft tissue scheme, esp are proud to ensure all products are fully labelled with accurate length, widths and sheet counts as appropriate. With CHSA pushing to ‘Beat The Cheats’, esp is fully behind the latest drive and you’ll see its Sales Team sporting the CHSA lapel badges which gives all esp customers and potential customers confidence they are purchasing a product that complies with specification.
The longstanding Enigma brand is still a prominent feature within esp and combined with the new Origin range, the company are looking forward to raising the bar further in 2016, whilst remaining flexible and true to the esp mantra – making a great deal of difference.
