Mechanical recycling has been part of our company DNA for over 30 years and is at the heart of our paper and plastic packaging. We produce new, ecologically and economically sustainable products from waste. As the European market leader, this makes us a key player in shaping a thriving circular economy.
In our technology hubs, packaging is proactively designed to be better and more sustainable to meet tomorrow's legal requirements even today. Here, bold ideas from product creation to quality management are developed and systematically implemented. Continuous investment in all our sites enables the future-proof and efficient production of our packaging solutions.
As a globally active group, we are both local contact and global partner. In addition to an international logistics network, we have a special focus on regional characteristics and adapt our products to market-specific trends as well as requirements. In this, our in-house production and decades of strong relationships with trading partners complement each other.
We are proud to be a family-owned manufacturing business that thinks and acts long-term. Together, we do not only develop tailor-made packaging, but also react to the individual needs of our team. Worldwide, we are united by a down-to-earth and personal working environment in which flat hierarchies ensure quick, pragmatic decisions.
Our openness to interests and talents provides our team with global development opportunities and diverse career opportunities outside of rigid job profiles. By taking responsibility and valuing individual strengths, everyone contributes visibly to the bigger picture.

Since its establishment in 1957 Papier-Mettler has shown constant dynamic growth. Hans Georg Mettler founded the family-owned company as a paper wholesaler and initially supplied his customers with paper products and 15 years later started paper bag manufacture. In 1971 Papier-Mettler extended the packaging range with the manufacture of plastic carrier bags. The product range has continued to expand to this day. The company’s values, being family-orientated, reliable with a down-to-earth approach have always been the key to our success.
We are fully aware that our employees are the key drivers to our success. Health and safety are our main priority and to ensure sustained economic success we continually invest in training and further education schemes for our employees.
We want our employees to enjoy working for us and to be in it for the long run! We aim to be a good employer and a reliable and down-to-earth enterprise.
Our social responsibility is important to us. Our criteria is to trade using ethical and social principles and only buy ethical products and services where possible.
