Just one year ago the excitement was palpable as we started the first day’s production at our brand new site in Scotland, Eurocentral.

It replaced our site at Larkhall, and all production and our people transferred to Eurocentral. It was a huge milestone in the history of Board24 and corrugated board production in the UK.

Home to the newest corrugator in the country and the latest technologies meant the site is faster, has enhanced capabilities, and can manufacture superior quality materials more efficiently and sustainably particularly important in the ongoing demand for high quality printed packaging.

Capable of producing more than 100 million metres squared per annum, it can manufacture a wide range of flute types including B, C, M, E, BC, MB, and EB.

Frank Hay, Group Managing Director, Board24 commented; “It has been a superb year for Board24 and the team at Eurocentral and I commend them all for their professionalism and dedication to making this huge project a success.

“Now, as we enter our second year, we look forward to increasing our capacity even further and continuing our leading position in the Scotland and North of England corrugated board supply chain.”

The site was specified with the latest state of the art corrugating and materials handling equipment to enable consistency, sustainability, and efficiency through advanced process control systems. Furthermore, it was designed to complement the other Board24 sites and by using the same business management systems across the group, true continuity has been established between the three operating sites.
