Trial Production

At the outset, we employed approximately 25 staff members, encompassing both technical and non-technical roles, alongside a team of 78 skilled workers. Over the years, our workforce has expanded, and today, we proudly employ 112 dedicated individuals who contribute to our continued growth and success.

Commercial Production

In November 1986, The Mills achieved a significant milestone with the commencement of commercial production, operating across all three shifts.
