Company

In 1873 a group of pioneers established a paper mill on the banks of the river Reuss in a small village called Perlen (near Lucerne). Today thanks to two paper-making machines for Newsprint- and LWC-paper can be manufactured. The PM4 uses a unique technology. The PM7 is one of the world's most modern paper-making machines for newsprint.

Strong ties with our customers, quick decision making and strict environmental code of conduct together with high-quality products are the fundamental basis for a successful growth of the Perlen production site.
