The Mayr-Melnhof Karton AG is one of the largest manufacturers of cardboard from recycled paper and a leading producer of folding cartons. The MM Group has 9,856 (2017) employees and generated 2,336.8 million euros in 2017 (2016 2,272.2 million euros).

history

In 1950, with the installation of the first cardboard machine in the main Frohnleiten factory in Styria, the industrial production of folding boxes made of cardboard began. Cigarettes, rice or noodles as well as some apparatus and devices for households or businesses.

The Mayr-Melnhof Group was renamed a stock corporation in 1994 and was listed as a new issue in Vienna on the Vienna Stock Exchange , where the share has been listed since then. The issue price was ATS 500.00 (EUR 35.00)

In 2008, MM-Packaging acquired 60% of the Turkish folding carton manufacturer Superpack in İzmir ( Turkey ). Superpack has 120 employees and has two offset printing lines that process 8,000 tons of cardboard annually. In the same year the board mill in Nikopol (Bulgaria) was closed. The completion of the plant cost EUR 22.6 million.

In 2010 the cardboard factory in Deisswil near Stettlen ( Switzerland ) was closed. MM cited the emissions tax introduced in Switzerland as the reason. The Department for the Environment, Transport, Energy and Communication (DETEC) contradicted this : Since the cardboard factory committed itself in 2008 to reducing CO 2 emissions through various measures, it was exempted from the CO 2 tax. The mill produced 112,000 tons of cardboard in 2009 and was no longer competitive, according to MM. A social plan was set up for the 255 employees. The MM Group wanted to concentrate more and more on its high-performance locations.

In mid-2013, MM-Karton acquired the CTMP plant in Folla from Södra, which was only shut down in September 2012 as Södra Cell Folla due to insufficient profitability. MM-Karton started production for an autonomous supply of raw materials to semi-pulp ( CTMP and TMP ) for the production of its own board grades. Part of the annual capacity of 130,000 tons will be freely traded on the market.

Corporate structure

The company consists of two business areas: MM-Karton and MM-Packaging.

In 2017, 1.7 million tons of cardboard were produced in the seven European MM-Karton locations ( Germany , the Netherlands , Austria and Slovenia ). MM-Karton mainly produces recycled cardboard (87%), but also virgin fiber cardboard (13%). Approx. 2,500 employees generated sales of around EUR 1,048.7 million in 2017. MMK has 9 board machines . The carton is used for products from various brand manufacturers such as Barilla , Dr. Oetker , Kellogg's or Nestlé are used.
