The history of the company starts in 1855. We are running a mill being in operation in more than 160 years, going through good and bad periods, sun and rain, big changes in the society and two world wars. The mill has survived because of the customer focus, the will and capability to change and the focus on process leadership. We are a part of this history and we are quite proud of it!
