About Ehingen Mill
Nestled on the banks of the Danube in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, our Ehingen Mill makes both pulp and papers, and is famous as the world’s first chlorine-free bleaching plant.
Operating a 250m-long production line, the mill produces 150,000 tons of chlorine-free pulp, the majority of which is used in manufacturing a range of high-quality graphic and packaging papers. Around 280,000 tons of paper are produced each year – the equivalent of 1,500km of paper a day, and enough to stretch from Berlin to Rome.
Our Ehingen Mill plays an active part in the local community. In particular, we have formed strong educational partnerships with nearby schools and also support the technical university in Munich through internships, vocational experiences and apprenticeships.
The mill has introduced its own innovative practices alongside implementing Sappi’s corporate policy of sustainability and environmental protection. These include measures to increase the amount off biogenic fuels used in energy production as well as ways to reduce water consumption. Many of these improvements come as a result of ideas submitted by our people.
Our employees at Ehingen Mill are at the heart of our continuous innovation and optimisation. Data scientists, IT specialists, research and development experts, electrical engineers, paper technologists and many other specialists work hand-in-hand here. Together, we are able to tap into unrealised potential and implement new ideas that ensure Ehingen Mill continues to set enviable standards in sustainable paper production.
