Award-winning. MULTI-PURPOSE PAPER FOR MODERN OFFICE MANAGEMENT.

RE-ESTABLISH A SHORT HISTORY OF INDUSTRIAL EMANCIPATION. THE VALUE. No more wastage is what we said back in 1976. It must be possible to manufacture high-quality paper without intensively consuming valuable resources such as water, energy and wood. What followed was a small industrial revolution. A completely new concept in terms of raw materials, the construction of an ecologically integrated production location and proof that the best output can result from the concept paper made from paper. For all printers and photocopiers. We set new standards. The principles of a circular economy and of sustainability reach our entire company, encompassing the procurement, production and value chains. 2 3

THE STEINBEIS REVOLUTION. FROM RECYCLED PAPER TO PAPER 4.0. Steinbeis operates one of the most modern paper recycling factories in Europe today. It is the result of continuous development, quality management, and of investment into leading technologies. The manufacturing processes used for our office and magazine paper types are particularly environmentally friendly. This is where we achieve the best ecological footprint.
