Cartonnerie Jean FG belongs since January 17th to the German group Gmund Papier. Based in Bonnat in the Creuse region of France, the cardboard mill, which has specialized in the manufacture of recycled cardboard since 1927, was in receivership. Equipped with two paper machines, the French factory also produces dyed flat cardboard and celloderms. Gmund Papier, founded in 1829, now operates four machines.
"There will be absolutely no changes planned for either company. The 20 jobs at Jean's Cartonnerie have been retained." says the paper company, which now has 135 employees.
"We were looking for a manufacturer with exceptionally environmentally friendly production and with many years of experience in the field of colored recycled paper." explains Florian Kohler and Herbert Eibach, co-CEOs of Gmund. "With this acquisition, we become the specialist for particularly environmentally friendly packaging applications in Europe."
