SPA 114th Conference – Now Open for Bookings!

Bookings are now open for the SPA 114th Conference, taking place on Monday 1st February 2027 at Carden Park, near Chester.

This is an excellent opportunity for SPA box plant converter members to network with industry colleagues, gain valuable insights and learn about the latest innovations and developments shaping our industry. 

The Conference will take a closer look at the changing world of papermaking, recycling, speciality papers and the wider paper supply chain, exploring the challenges and opportunities ahead for corrugated converters. 

Exclusive VIP Tour of Shotton Mill – Tuesday 2nd February 

The day after Conference, SPA sheet plant member delegates will be invited to an exclusive VIP tour of Shotton Mill on Deeside (our last visit was in October 2025).  The impressive 85.6-hectare site is home to two advanced manufacturing operations: a cardboard paper machine (PM3) and a tissue paper machine (TM1).  

This will be a fantastic opportunity to see first-hand one of the most significant investments in the UK's paper and packaging industry. 

Don't miss this opportunity to connect, learn and see innovation in action!  Book your place at the SPA 114th Conference by clicking on the image:
