About Us

Navigator Tissue UK Ltd is part of The Navigator Company. Previously known as Accrol Group and established in 1993, Navigator Tissue UK is the UK’s leading independent tissue converter, producing private label toilet roll, kitchen roll, facial tissue products and a range of wet wipes for many of the UK’s major grocery retailers. We currently have five manufacturing sites across the UK in Blackburn, Leyland, Leicester, Flint and Bridgwater.
