Sponsored by Star Tissue STAR’S SUCCESS We learn more about Star Tissue UK’s history, progress, and future ambitions.


Star Tissue UK has been established since 2003 and has grown year-on-year to become one of the leading independent manufacturers of hygiene paper products.


We offer both pure and recycled tissue, ensuring all our tissue is of a very high standard and is sourced from tissue manufacturers who are registered with the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). Our recent investments in state- of-the-art manufacturing technology enables us to enhance the quality of the paper, creating a stronger sheet with greater absorption capacity.


Our latest production technology and commitment to continuous product innovation ensures that we produce superior products for the UK away-from-home (AFH) market. Our latest investments in production facilities in the UK have enabled us to offer a wide range of very competitively priced quality products efficiently with short lead times and the flexibility to match the products to the needs of individual clients and sectors.


Star Tissue featured in the 2016 London Stock Exchange list of 1000 most dynamic and fast-growing companies, and the 2017 London Stock Exchange list of 10,000 companies to ‘inspire Europe’.


We believe the best way to minimise environmental impact is to purchase products that are made from 100% recycled tissue as this requires no trees to be chopped down, reduces landfill, requires no bamboo plantations, and no wildlife are disrupted. Also, purchasing products that are tightly wound with more metres of paper on a roll is another great way to reduce the carbon footprint, as this decreases the amount of packaging required, reduces deliveries and energy consumption.


Over the past three years we have made significant investments in increasing manufacturing capacity, industry 4.0, and IOT. Through using this valuable machine data, we are able to plan maintenance and production with minimal disruption. In 2020 we installed a new state-of-the-art production line to complement our current operation. This has allowed us to further develop the quality of our current products whilst introducing brand new iterations.


We also recognise that logistics play an integral part in ensuring customers receive a reliable and flexible delivery service. We have invested heavily in our warehouse operation with over 180,000 sq ft of quality warehousing, giving us the capacity to hold over 14,000 pallets of finished goods ready for call off. With this significant investment, we are able to deliver 300 pallets every day.


Star Tissue employees are at the forefront of our ambition to deliver the best possible quality and service to our customers. Our transformation means increased investment in training and equipment, including spending on new processes in order to make them safer and less laborious.


Our new state-of-the-art pallet automiser will make our production operations more efficient and less laborious. By the end of 2022, our forklift fleet will be 80% electric, bringing

major benefits to our warehouse operation. Moving to electric forklifts will further reduce our carbon footprint and reduce work-based noise. We have also installed a brand-new waste extraction system that will extract waste paper straight from the production line into a recycled waste containment unit, ensuring we recycle 100% of our waste.
