Long-established manufacturer kicks off year with investment in solar power
A 150-year-old Keighley manufacturing business, Stell, has committed to a further £400,000 investment in solar power generation.
This adds a further 380KW generating capacity to the existing 120KW array, giving a 500KW array in total.
As a fifth-generation family-owned firm, Stell makes cardboard tube and core products, including reel tubes, label and tape cores.
The company supplies over 16,000 km of cardboard tubes across the UK and Europe each year from its specialist 100,000 sq ft facility in Keighley.
Director of the business, Sam Stell said: “As a UK cardboard core and tube manufacturer, we take our environmental footprint very seriously.
“We’re ISO 14001 accredited and we invest heavily in clean tech, so we’re well underway in our net zero journey.
“Since our founding in 1872, our processes have evolved countless times, but our dedication to environmental responsibility has remained a constant.
“By thoroughly reviewing and refining our operations, we have aligned with globally recognised environmental benchmarks, providing our customers with the assurance that they are partnering with a manufacturer dedicated to promoting eco-friendly practices throughout its supply chain.”
ISO 14001 is a globally recognised standard that provides a framework for implementing effective Environmental Management Systems.
