The 100,000-square-foot facility will see the workforce at Ireland’s largest household and commercial tissue paper manufacturer double by 2026, creating 30 new full-time jobs.
Both Aldar Tissues and its parent company, Zeus Group, are committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.
They are both working to actively reduce their carbon footprint by prioritising local manufacturing and sustainable raw materials.
Aldar Tissues supplies to major customers such as Musgrave, Lidl, Aldi and Essential Supplies.
The state-of-the-art Dublin plant features fully automated high-speed production lines, and robotic packaging and wrapping technologies.
These innovations will enable Aldar Tissues to transition to a seven-day-a-week operation by 2026, further increasing capacity.
The plant’s cutting-edge technology enables the high-speed production of consumer and professional tissue products at a rate of 600 metres, or 200 packs, per minute, offering more than 60 variations of kitchen towel and bathroom tissue.
As of 2023, the Irish toilet tissue market was worth approximately €155 million, driven by demand from both the retail and away-from-home sectors.
Zeus, an independent packaging manufacturer and distributor, acquired Aldar Tissues in 2019.
