Mayr-Melnhof in the UK

Mayr-Melnhof had two plants in Great Britain, one based in Bootle, Merseyside and one in Deeside Wales.[4] The Bootle plant worked closely with companies including Kellogg Company, while the operations at Deeside focus mainly upon food and tissue[5] manufacturing for companies including Georgia-Pacific and Unilever. Both plants ran a weekday 3-shift system as well as a dedicated weekend crew.

At both UK plants, the company ran mainly Bobst group machinery in the cut-and-crease and finishing department, the Bootle plant operated a fully automated end of line department. In the print department of both, machinery from Koenig & Bauer was used.

History

Owner Franz Mayr (1810–1889) was ennobled in 1859 with the title "of Melnhof". In 1872 he received the title baron.
