Ziegler Papier ends production of fine and special papers at the Grellingen site

The decision to discontinue production was taken because of persisting overcapacities, the negative exchange rate situation and the major price pressure as a result.

Over recent years, Ziegler Papier AG has implemented various innovation and efficiency improvement projects and continued to invest at the Grellingen site. But the possibilities have now been exhausted. Further cost reductions make no sense. In addition, one can assume that the situation and prospects for the Grellingen plant will not fundamentally improve over the next few years, especially in view of the fact that there are no signs of price relaxation on the raw materials side.

The company will repurpose the plant site. According to Euwid and other online media they will fill the remaining orders of sheets production by the middle/end of May.


The managing owners of the 155-year-old family business regret that, despite the great commitment of the employees and despite innovative and cost-saving measures, the production at the Grellingen site has to be ceased because of the adverse circumstances.
