History of Portals
Overton
Portals opened Overton Mill, near to Laverstoke, in 1922. Paper making ceased
at Laverstoke Mill in 1963, having transferred to the nearby and more modern
Overton Mill. In 1972, Portals acquired Bathford Mill, near Bath in Somerset,
which had been producing paper since 1809. In 1995, Portals were themselves
acquired by De La Rue, the banknote printers, and the name ceased to be used.
In 2018, De La Rue divested itself of its paper making activities, and the
name Portals was again used for the newly independent business. There has been
significant investment within the mill over the last 15 years any holds
specialist machinery associated with banknote manufacturing.
