SCA’s corrugated box plant at Aylesford in Kent, which produces products for a number of significant brand owners, will not be affected by the proposed closure of the containerboard mill at the same site, as reported in the July issue of Packaging News.

SCA said this month that it would close the New Hythe containerboard mill in Kent as part of the sale of some of its UK corrugated packaging operations to Spain’s Sociedad Anónima Industrias Celulosa Aragonesa (SAICA) for £100m.

The Sweden-based paper and packaging company said around 130 employees at New Hythe, which produces 240,000 tonnes of testliner and fluting, would be affected by the closure, which will take place by mid-2010. Consultation has started with unions.
