Schumacher Packaging Group takes over a paper factory in Poland

The Schumacher Packaging Group, based in Ebersdorf near Coburg, is continuing on its growth path with a strategic investment. Recently a complete paper factory has been taken over in Myszków in Poland. Managing Director Björn Schumacher: ”The paper market is subject to strong price fluctuations. They could not be passed on to the market, especially in the last three years. In future we will be able to compensate for this volatility much better. Since we are improving our delivery capability, we are also securing further growth opportunities.” Schumacher Packaging Group is investing € 100 m for this purpose. To date, papers for production of newspaper have primarily been produced on the 5.36-metre-wide paper machine. Following the conversion to corrugated paper, around 250,000 to 300,000 tonnes of high-quality Testliner and Wellenstoff - depending on the weight - will be produced annually in Myszków. In the next two to three years around 30 employees will ensure that the infrastructure and the buildings are repaired in accordance with the Quality Guidelines of the Schumacher Packaging Group, and that the machine is prepared for conversion. Production is scheduled to start in 2019 when around 130 employees will manufacture corrugated paper with an annual value of € 100 m.
