The Niederauer Mühle paper factory is a German manufacturer of corrugated base paper ( testliner ) based in Niederau , a district of Düren , North Rhine-Westphalia .
history
The company was founded in 1831 by the brothers Franz and Ernst Schoeller as a cloth mill in Kreuzau . On July 8, 1888, the company Hirtz & Kommer took over the mill and converted it into a paper mill. Ten years later she bought Josef Schiffer and went bankrupt with her in 1908. The Strepp brothers acquired the bankruptcy estate from Hochkoppelmühle. On December 30, 1932, Kayser in Winden and Schulte-Krumpen jointly took over the factory and operated as "Karpa" cardboard and paper factory Kayser & Co, OHG, Winden, since 1888 (1932) in Niederau .
The company was badly destroyed in the Second World War , but was subsequently rebuilt and fundamentally modernized over the next few years. On March 21, 1978 the company went bankrupt again together with the company of its partner Kayser in Winden, but was able to resume operations on April 6, 1978 after the takeover by Paul Mertens. Since then, the company name has been Papierfabrik Niederauer Mühle GmbH . Finally, on September 1, 1984, the Niederauer Mühle was taken over by Holger Autenrieb and Manfred Meyer, who, after extensive renovation work, were able to increase production by 100% to around 100 tons per day with 50 employees. In addition, in 1994 the Niederauer Mühle paper factory took over a large part of the production facilities of the former Hoesch brothers from Kreuzau-Niederau, which had been shut down a year earlier and which for many decades had been the leading supplier of white-covered corrugated base paper for the packaging industry.
In November 2015 it became known that Niederauer Mühle wanted to take over the insolvent Walsum Papier .
