Within our mills lies our craft. Since the 17^th century, we have mastered the skills of making high quality papers, from fine paper to security paper, and more recently smart papers for printed electronics. Creating a sheet with lasting perfection takes precision. We rely on the knowledge, skill and experience of our people coupled with cutting-edge equipment to produce the world’s most diverse collection of unique papers.

Arjowiggins’ mills are located in Europe (Stoneywood in Scotland, Chartham in England, Guarro Casas in Spain) and in China (Quzhou). They all abide by the highest standards in terms of safety, quality and respect to the environment.

Stoneywood Mill, on the banks of the River Don near Aberdeen, Scotland, was built in 1770 by James Moir who owned the estate at that time. The mill started the production of paper three years later. In 1800, it was acquired by Alexander Pirie who switched production from brown paper to fine papers. Two years later the mill produced its first watermarked paper. Over the following decades the mill built an international reputation for high-quality papers, and by the late 1800s, its products were sold in most countries around the world.

Today, Stoneywood Mill continues to produce world-leading fine paper brands such as Conqueror, Curious Collection, Keaykolour and Delos for graphic and packaging applications. It has also diversified into producing casting papers, security papers and more recently, smart papers for printed electronics.

Guarro Casas Mill, in the village of Gelida, Catalonia, started paper production in 1698, according to historical documents, and gained an international reputation after supplying King Charles III of Spain with high-quality writing paper in the 18^th century.

Since then, through research and close partnerships with its clients, Guarro Casas has adapted its products to the needs of industry and society. Today, it is a world-leading producer of cover papers for the luxury packaging and bookbinding markets.

Paper production at Chartham Mill, near Canterbury in the south-east of England, dates back to 1738. Two hundred years later, its modern mainstay product, Gateway tracing paper, was introduced. Gateway is now recognised throughout the world as the leading brand of translucent paper for manual and technical drawing.

Today, Chartham combines traditional and modern processing technology to offer a wide range of translucent papers for graphic applications, as well as innovative products such as food-contact barrier papers and sustainable alternatives to petrochemical-based plastics.

With the importance of China and Asia for the tracing paper market, following an initial joint-venture in 2007, Arjowiggins acquired 100% of the tracing paper mill at Quzhou, Zhejiang Province, south-west of Shanghai, in 2008. Since then, Chartham and Quzhou mills have cooperated closely to ensure the manufacture of high-quality products to the exacting standards of Arjowiggins for a range of applications and a worldwide market.
