Sanmerna Paper Products Limited unveiled a three-year time frame for the expansion of its factory as the company moves to re-enter regional export markets.

"We need land space to build a bigger factory so that we can produce more and have enough space to put it," Managing Director Robert White told the Financial Gleaner in a recent interview.

Sanmerna sources raw materials from Indonesia, Türkiye and China, and sells tissue and paper products under the Sophie, West Best, Classic and Soft Dream brands. Its output currently runs at about 7,000 cases of tissue per day. White wants to buy or lease space near the Port of Kingston. That’s close to its existing factory on Ashenheim Rd.
