The ITC Story
Our managing director, who was running a successful law firm fancied a new challenge. Two converting lines were purchased from Spain and ITC was born. These were installed at our initial facility on Hutton Street in Blackburn.
The machines became operational in March 2020. The world then witnessed the Covid-19 pandemic resulting in a surge in demand for tissue paper products. This allowed ITC to instantly become an established tissue converter.
ITC successfully launched its hygiene paper tissue brands for the away from home sector:
Focus Hygiene, Nature Hygiene, Simplex Tissue, Serene Tissues
The business capitalised on its new reputation of being a reliable and trusted partner for the supply of finished tissue products in the UK Away from Home Market. Resulting in double digit growth in sales and turnover.
The business relocated to its current 89,000 sqft facility at Witton Mill in Blackburn. To facilitate growth the business installed a new state of the art industrial tissue converting line.
The business invested in building an experienced, dynamic and motived team.
The further accelerate growth the business installed a fourth new state of the art toilet tissue converting line and built a new 16,000 sqft warehouse extension.
