history
In 1948 Kurt H. Schumacher founded a trading company in Ebersdorf near Coburg for the local toy, upholstery and small furniture industry. In 1957, his son Wulf took over the company, which strategically expanded the corrugated cardboard packaging business into a central product. 1970 followed the entry into the corrugated cardboard production.
In 1999, Kurt H. Schumacher Crimpack Wellpappenwerk KG first acquired the F. Luce packaging plant in Bielefeld, which was founded in 1889 . In 2000, the newly founded subsidiary Tektura started production in Wrocław, Poland . In a joint venture, the company took a stake in Verpa Folie Wrocław, a producer of polyethylene films. Luce Verpackungswerk GmbH in Sonneberg in the south of Thuringia followed a year later . In 2002, the family company took over Kartonax GmbH & Co. KG in Nuremberg, which was founded in 1925 .
Kartonagen Schwarzenberg GmbH in Schwarzenberg (founded in 1868) and Wasgau Packaging GmbH in Hauenstein (founded in 1934) have been part of the group since 2008 and 2009. Since September 1, 2009, the companies previously part of the Crimpack Group have been operating under the uniform name Schumacher Packaging. In 2010 the brothers Björn and Hendrik Schumacher took over the management of the group from their father Wulf. The most recent acquisition in August of the same year concerned the former Polish Polpak Group with locations in Bydgoszcz and Grudziądz . The plant in Nuremberg was replaced in 2011 by a newly built production site in Forchheim .
In 2014, two new production sites were added in Greven and Breda . In 2016, a paper mill was purchased in Myszków, Poland. In 2017, the packaging service providers Konverdi GmbH and Konverdi Copacking GmbH in Germany and Nypack sro in the Czech Republic were taken over. In 2018, Schumacher Packaging had 15 production sites in Europe. The annual turnover increased by six percent to 627 million euros. The British packaging manufacturer Jaffabox Limited, based in Birmingham, has also been part of the group since November 2019 .
