Gravure printing site opened
Together with state secretary Hendrik Hering of the Rhineland-Palatinate government and the mayor of Trier, Helmut Schröer, the CEO and chairman of the Management Board of the Mayr-Melnhof Group, Wilhelm Hörmanseder, opened the most modern European gravure printing site for packaging. With an investment of about EUR 20 million the MM Gravure printing site will create approximately 100 new workplaces – in addition to 730 already existing in this federal state.For the Vienna-based Mayr-Melnhof Group, the new factory in Trier is the fourth folding
carton production site in Rhineland-Palatinate. In its twelve German factories
(nine folding carton plants and three cartonboard mills), the company employs about
2,500 people.
With sales totaling EUR 1.46 bn. and 33 factories all over Europe the Mayr-Melnhof
Group is the largest manufacturer of folding cartons in Germany and Europe and the
world-leader in recycled fiber based cartonboard. Arithmetically, almost daily each
European household opens up a new carton produced by the company. Since 1994,
Mayr-Melnhof is listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange.
MM Gravure, Europe’s most modern gravure printing plant for packaging, for the first
time realizes highest flexibility at maximum speed in packaging gravure. By separating
the printing process from converting and finishing, Mayr-Melnhof is offering a
unique technological concept. With this so-called offline process, MM Gravure delivers
unprecedented production speed and performance in gravure printing of folding
cartons. Measured in running meters, the annual output of MM Gravure could
encircle the globe twice.
