Hahnemühle celebrates 441 years of papermaking as most innovative and spear heading brand in Germany
News General news
With a unique and uninterrupted success story of 441 years of paper production in Germany, Hahnemühle has been named ‘Brand of the Century’ for the fourth time. Another extraordinary milestone that confirms Hahnemühle’s quality leadership as the oldest paper manufacturer in Germany – in times of transition and disruption in the global paper industry with ever new closures of traditional production facilities.
More than 400 years of uninterrupted production of the finest papers
Since its inception in 1584, Hahnemühle has always developed with economic foresight as a trend-setting pioneer in paper production – while preserving historical values through continuous innovation and increasing efficiency and productivity at its two production and processing sites in Dassel and Einbeck.
“Over the centuries we repeatedly established ourselves as a leader in the development of high-quality papers – whether for artists who require genuine papers for their works or for scientists who depend on precision and reliability. Our tradition of manufacturing excellence is firmly anchored in our company” stated CEO Jan Wölfle and continues “We have a clear focus on creative premium artist paper, high-end FineArt and sustainable Photo paper as well as on Life Science and Filtration media or applications with state-of-the-art AI manufacturing technologies.”
Honoured as ‘Brand of the Century’ for the fourth time on its 441st birthday
With Hahnemühle once again being honoured as the German ‘Brand of the Century’, the order of the day is continuous innovation and the recognition of growth opportunities, trends and customer needs. Hahnemühle remains true to its production location in Germany and is focussing on increasing efficiency and productivity by consistently investing millions in modern and sustainable manufacturing processes for paper or paper-based solutions. Hahnemühle is thus securing its market-leading position and making a conscious decision in favour of ‘Made in Germany’ with a strong commitment to the regional economy and local jobs.
