Gmund handmade paper factory – “A different approach to paper” from Lake Tegernsee

The Gmund handmade paper factory is a paper manufacturer based in Gmund am Tegernsee, south of Munich, and employs around 130 people.

The paper factory is known for producing designer and natural papers as well as finished paper products. With an export quota of 75%, it supplies customers in around 80 countries.

The paper mill is known worldwide for its gold-finished papers, which are used to make the envelopes and winner cards for the Oscar Academy Awards.

The presentation provides a detailed look behind the scenes of paper production and deep insights into all production processes. The journey from raw material to proud Gmund paper begins with the grinding and dyeing of the pulp, then continues in a wet and hot ride over the belts and rollers of the paper machine, winding its way through embossing calenders and large cutting machines before continuing by hand. Each sheet is checked, carefully packaged, and then shipped from Gmund all over the world.
