The Board of Accrol announced that, further to its stated strategy to expand into higher margin, third party licensed brands, it has entered anagreement with one of the larger consumer goods companies, Unilever plc ("Unilever"), to exclusively produce and sell a kitchen towel product under its Lifebuoy brand. The Board believes that, following significant investment over the last four years, Accrol is now the lowest cost tissue-products manufacturer in the UK. This operational efficiency is expected to deliver Lifebuoy kitchen towel at a retail price-point positioned between the current market leader and its private label equivalents, demonstrating exceptional value and quality from a trusted global brand.

The Lifebuoy range includes two of the top four selling SKUs in the UK's major retailers and the addition of a kitchen towel product will enhance the household product offering for Unilever.
