Gizeh Verpackungen is an internationally active German group of companies that designs, manufactures and decorates plastic packaging. The company, whose headquarters are in Bergneustadt , North Rhine-Westphalia , currently employs around 750 people and generated sales of around 120 million euros in 2017.
Corporate development
Gizeh has its origins in the special paper manufacturer Schoeller & Hoesch , which began producing tissue and cigarette paper in 1904 . With the establishment of the Gizeh cigarette paper processing company on January 2, 1920, Schoeller & Hoesch outsourced the cigarette paper production division from the company. It was initially produced in Cologne .
During the Second World War , the ongoing Allied bombing raids on Cologne forced the company to relocate production to less endangered locations. One of the alternative locations was therefore Bergneustadt, located in Oberbergisches Land. Initially, production was carried out in the Wahlefeld company in Bergneustadt- Sessinghausen on the city limits of Derschlag , later in Wiedenest and, since 1964, in Bergneustadt am Breiten Weg. After the complete destruction of the Cologne main factory in 1944, the expansion of this location began, which in 1955 also became the company's headquarters with the construction of a 3,200 square meter paper mill. Three years later, the production of paraffin- coated paper packaging for the dairy industry began in Bergneustadt, and from 1964 Gizeh was also able to supply this for the first time with injection-molded and deep-drawn plastic packaging. In addition to packaging and smoking accessories, the company also produced punched cards , EDP papers and parking tickets.
Shortly after the smoking equipment division (now Gizeh Raucherbedarf ) was spun off from the company in 1997 due to economic difficulties and sold to the Dutch group Mignot & De Block , the Jung entrepreneurial family took over the company in 1998, which is now called Gizeh Verpackungen GmbH & Co. KG and is currently one of the leading manufacturers of plastic packaging in Europe. After having achieved a turnover of around 30 million euros with 350 employees in 2001, nine years later the company achieved around 100 million euros in sales with 560 employees at its five locations. His customers include well-known food manufacturers such as Ferrero , Nestlé , Kühlmann , Danone , Unilever , Schwartau , Homann Feinkost and Dairy Crest .
Subsidiaries are located in Tarnowo Podgórne in Poland , Angers in France (2005) and, since 2004, in Elsterwerda in Brandenburg . Another location was in Schlatt, Switzerland , where the tool making division was located. This location has since been closed. In 2013, a plant was also established in Brantford , Canada , from where the North American market is supplied. In autumn 2013, the foundation stone was laid for a location in Senftenberg, Brandenburg , where special tools and machines for plastics processing are to be developed and manufactured.
