Industry News CON-JUL21-EMERSON QUARTER:CON-JUL21-EMERSON QUARTER 18 Editor’s Note
Welcome to the May issue of Converter. I’m sure that many of you are ramping up the production of a plethora of goods – and packaging to put those goods in – specifically for the upcoming Platinum Jubilee, a celebration that we surely need as we pass from the Covid storm only to find a bigger, more war-like storm on the horizon already affecting cost of living, energy, food and materials supplies. Sam Ryder’s Eurovision entry put the UK into a long-overdue second place, which has also unexpectedly boosted moral.
It doesn’t really matter where in the world you live or what you actually produce, productivity is always affected by staff moral and is something that’s often underestimated in favour of more punitive motivation – it has the power to make or break a company. This issue we take a look at coating & laminating, drying, curing & UV, flexible packaging, ink & ink dispensers and machine vision & web inspection – all of which I hope you find informative and interesting.

Northwood Group and Consuma Paper Products join forces
Northwood, with its integrated supply chain, has supplied Consuma Paper Products CPP with tissue for over 20 years, providing both Virgin and Recycled tissue either from its own UK Mills or from global supply partners. More recently, the partnership has evolved further with Northwood’s UK mills manufacturing recycled paper for some of CPP’s retail customers, enabling them to reduce their carbon footprint. This partnership accelerates their joint aspirations to become ‘The Sustainable Paper Company’ with local supply, vertical integration across the supply chain, consolidated truck loads and new technology in the paper space delivering on lower energy usage as well as using less fibre.
Oday Abbosh, founder and chief executive of Better All Round, CPP’s parent company, commented: “Joining forces now is a natural extension of our relationship with Northwood, bringing together the best of two groups in serving our customers. Together, we will have increased capacity and be able to leverage new technology to deliver on our sustainability agenda for the benefit of all our customers. In a market that remains under significant pressure from a broad set of macro and geopolitical events, this will allow our customers to benefit from scale, multiple synergies, and shared expertise”. Paul Fecher, chairman of Northwood Group said: “Our heritage in tissue production, sourcing and converting across the Away from Home and Retail sectors, together with our forward-looking investments in state-of-the-art machinery, allow us to offer innovative products to our combined clients in the private label area. We are excited to join forces and to expand our retail range across the whole tissue sector of toilet, towel, facial and pocket tissues in all formats. We look forward to working closely with the teams in Birmingham and Grantham.
