history
In 1960, Adolf Jass founded the Adolf Jass paper mill in Gronau an der Leine (Lower Saxony) and put the first paper machine into operation. It initially produced 12 tons a day. In 1965 the paper mill was modernized and the capacity expanded to 20,000 tons per year.
When looking for a second production site, the decision was made in favor of Fulda in Hesse. In 1971 paper machine 2 (today: PM 4) with wastewater treatment plant and power station went into operation. The annual capacity reached 80,000 tons.
Ten years later the second paper machine (PM 3) was built and put into operation in Fulda. After a major fire in 1990, the paper machine in Gronau was shut down.
A fully automatic roll store, in which paper rolls can be stacked up to 15 meters high, went into operation in 2001.
In 2004/2005, the Adolf Jass paper factory expanded with a second location in Rudolstadt / Schwarza (Thuringia), and in 14 months a modern paper factory for lightweight corrugated cardboard base paper was created.
The company's founder Adolf Jass died on April 4, 2013 at the age of 94.
Thanks to ongoing optimization and expansion of the production processes and their ancillary systems, the Adolf Jass paper mill had a production capacity of over 1 million tons in 2017.
