The paper mill at Beetham dates back over 200 years. The modern mill was started in 1930, however, and now has two paper machines producing paper for pharmaceutical packaging, food packaging, wallpaper and paper for different types of industrial use.
Specific applications include grease-resistant paper for the fast-food industry and paper that can be sterilised for medical applications.
Beetham is a pioneer in quality and environmental work. The mill was among the first in Europe to gain certification according to ISO 9001, ISO 9002, ISO 14001 and IPPC.
