Fripa begins construction work on new paper machine in Miltenberg

To make room for the new production infrastructure, existing buildings will first be demolished. According to Fripa, a new paper machine hall with a usable area of around 6,000 square meters will then be built. In addition, a parent roll warehouse, a transport bridge for automatic roll transport, and a two-story office and social building will be constructed. Furthermore, the pulp storage area will be covered and the roll storage area will be connected to the production hall. Fripa ordered the new tissue machine from Andritz in July 2025.

Once the work is complete, the plant will have an annual production capacity of 37,000 tons of paper. The plant will reach a production speed of up to 2,100 m. Fripa has not disclosed the exact investment amount, but says it is in the mid double-digit million range. The aim of the investment is to strengthen production capacities and secure the company's long-term competitiveness.
