Star Tissue is a leading independent manufacturer of hygiene paper products

Star is accredited with ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 quality certificates and is an accredited member of the CHSA. The company has also been identified as one of London Stock Exchange’s 1000 Companies to Inspire Britain and Europe in 2016 and 2017. The report is a celebration of the UK’s fastest-growing and most dynamic small and medium sized businesses. A family company, Star Tissue is based in Lancashire – the home of the industrial revolution. 

Established in 2003, Star Tissue is one of the largest employers in the region and this year alone it has enhanced its production capacity by a further 30% and is in the process of increasing its site by a further 60,000 sq ft in preparation for its new stateof-the-art production line in 2020. This new development is being hailed as the most advanced production facility in Europe.  

Managing director Khalid Saifullah said: “Star Tissue has cemented a comfortable position in the market as a company to trust when it comes to the delivery of high quality products at a fair price.

“With Lancashire’s industrial heritage we have access to a greatly skilled force who have previously been working in the steel, paper and textile businesses that once thrived in the region.” 

Saifullah concluded: “Looking forward, Star is well placed to grasp any opportunities Brexit presents and is lean and robust to withstand any disruptions it might cause. Arte et Labore is the motto of our town and Premiership winning Football team which means ‘by skill and hard work’. So with skill and hard work Star Tissue will continue to prosper and serve its customers with great quality products on the times agreed with happy northerners looking after their every need.”
