SCA Hygiene Products (UK) Ltd is Europe's leading producer of hygiene products with operations throughout the World. The Company formerly purchased steam from an adjacent site but experienced steam supply problems, in terms of cost, quality and reliability.
MCL Energy responded to a competitive tender and secured the project, signing a partnership contract whereby they built a state-of-
the-art energy centre dedicated to serving SCA Hygiene process requirements. The Centre was built on schedule and within budget,
with no manufacturing downtime.
"MCL Energy have reliably supplied dry steam and continue to deliver a quality service within budgeted price levels. They always
prioritise our production enabling us to concentrate on manufacturing tissue."
(Steve Nam, Engineering Manager)
