Büttenpapierfabrik Gmund GmbH & Co. KG

Our company

A culture in papermaking since 1829

Fine paper from Gmund - we have been giving and keeping this promise with our products for almost 180 years. The basis for this confidence in our expertise and in the aesthetic power of our paper is an active company philosophy that is reflected in every detail of the Büttenpapierfabrik Gmund.

Tradition for the Future

The founder of the company Johann Nepomuk Haas was the first to commit himself to the production of the finest hand-made paper to particular quality standards. The Kohler family, who has been running the company since 1904, not only continued this tradition but also developed it to suit the times.

Expertise in workmanship for success

Then as now, in the production of high-quality Gmund paper, technical mastery is the key – even though produced to a large extent on modern equipment. The over 100 employees in Gmund are experienced specialists in their subject – and proud of the shared success.

Material for Quality

We set high standards in Gmund in the choice of materials, which we acquire from all over the world. For our production we use exclusively selected raw materials that are characterised by the highest purity and stability. These include chlorine-free bleached and FSC certified (FSC MIX) special pulp or natural cotton rags. Dyes and pigments as lightfast as possible – naturally free from heavy metals – and also high-quality minerals and fillers are further requirements for the acid-free, non-ageing quality of our paper.

Technology for Environmental protection

We would like to keep our idyllic site in the Mangfall valley for a long time to come! So we do everything to make our technologies and production processes as clean as possible. Thus in Gmund there is the only ozone water purification plant in the world. And our paper
