DS Smith announced that its St Regis Paper division has entered into a long-term agreement with BPB plc, a producer of plasterboard, for the supply of plasterboard liner paper.
Under this agreement, sales of plasterboard liner paper to BPB will grow to an annual rate of about 100,000 metric tons.
The St. Regis division also announced a £30 million capital expenditure program to upgrade existing machines at its mills at Kemsley in Kent and Wansbrough in Somerset over the next two years. Following the investment, St Regis’ total output will increase to approximately 1.1 million metric tons of paper, of which 90 percent will be made from recycled recovered paper.
