2008, Tejani family welcomes President Museveni to its tissue paper manufacturing plant in Leicestershire

The LPC Group welcomed Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni to its Leicestershire operations this week in order to discuss the potential of major investment in the African state. The Tejani family, which founded LPC in 1980, has close links to the country as they once ran a thriving coffee business there. Despite being forced to relocate to the UK over 35 years ago by Idi Amin’s regime, the family still has a strong will to see their former home’s immature economy grow and prosper.

— snip — LPC Group is the UK’s largest privately owned manufacturer of soft tissue products in the UK. The company has grown rapidly and now has operations in England, Sweden, France and Belgium. The family also has a major Pharmaceuticals business based in England but operating internationally, combined turnover is over £350 million and the businesses employ over 1,200 people.
