James Cropper launches its new state-of-the-art facilities. The two newly unveiled facilities include a state-of-the-art energy-efficient boiler in a newly refurbished powerhouse, and an embossing hall equipped with Formula 1-inspired precision surface measurement technology.
Sir James Cropper cut the ribbon on the official opening of new cutting-edge onsite facilities.
Delivered earlier this year under police escort, the energy-efficient 18-tonne Byworth Yorkshireman boiler is well-equipped to handle a wide range of energy demands, delivering improved control over energy consumption across the site while maintaining high efficiency standards.
Its installation aligns with James Cropper's robust decarbonisation roadmap with progress already being made towards cutting natural gas usage by 25% by 2025 and achieving net zero by 2050 across the entire supply chain.
Also unveiled this week was James Cropper’s cutting-edge Embossing Centre of Excellence, featuring Formula 1-inspired optical 3D metrology technology. This advanced system, which scans hundreds of thousands of measurement points in just five seconds elevates the quality control process for textured paper production.

The purpose-built embossing hall also includes a new embosser varnisher and a laboratory for monitoring and measuring equipment.
The new embosser varnisher will provide best in class service for high volume business whilst the existing fleet of embossing machines tackle the shorter run, bespoke patterns with greater agility and flexibility.
James Cropper is a global leader in advanced materials and luxury packaging based in Kendal, the UK.
