The ST Group of Companies, a leading North American manufacturer of away-from-home tissue parent rolls, announced that it has acquired a paper mill in Barnwell County, South Carolina, from Cascades Inc.
The acquisition, completed through the newly formed subsidiary, Barnwell Tissue Solutions, is ST’s third tissue facility and brings the company’s total annual production capacity to 220,000 tons. The expansion strengthens ST’s position as a premier supplier of high-quality parent rolls for bathroom tissue, paper towels, and napkins across North America.
The Barnwell mill features a 110-inch Valmet hybrid QRT/DCT tissue machine, installed in 2016, with an annual capacity of 30,000 tons. It also houses a 40,000-ton-per-year recycled fiber deinking mill, enabling production of both virgin and recycled tissue. The 300,000-square-foot site includes warehouse space with room for future expansion.
