The largest share of the investment — EUR 9 million — is being made at Felix Schoeller's headquarters in Osnabrück, where the company is investing in the competitiveness of Paper Machine 1.
Sept. 29, 2025 - Felix Schoeller is continuing its Reinvent Strategy with an extensive EUR 13 million investment package. Over the next two years, the specialty paper manufacturer will invest specifically in enhancing the competitiveness and sustainability of its German facilities.
The investment comprises four projects across the company's sites in Osnabrück, Weißenborn, Günzach, and Neustadt.
The largest share of the investment — EUR 9 million — is being made at Felix Schoeller's headquarters in Osnabrück, where the company is investing in the competitiveness of Paper Machine 1, increasing its performance by around 20 percent. The machine produces décor paper.
The remaining EUR 4 million will be invested in sustainability technologies. In Weißenborn, a steam accumulator will be installed as part of the energy concept, saving CO? and improving energy efficiency. At the Neustadt site, a heat exchanger will be installed on Paper Machine 18 to increase energy efficiency. In Günzach, the company is modernizing the wastewater treatment plant, thereby expanding its expertise in the production of pre-impregnates (PRIP) and increasing flexibility in its customer offering.
According to Felix Schoeller, the investment package is designed to significantly boost competitiveness from 2027 onwards.
"With these investments, we are reaffirming our commitment to Germany as a production location, enhancing our performance, and laying the foundation for further growth," said Hans-Christoph Gallenkamp, CEO of Felix Schoeller. "The investment package is the next logical step in our future strategy following the difficult decisions we had to make on consolidating our plant structures."
The measures follow the structural changes announced earlier this year, including the closure of the Penig plant and portfolio optimization in the Imaging business.
Felix Schoeller develops, produces and markets specialty paper solutions ranging from photographic and digital printing papers to decor papers for the furniture, wood-based panel industries to release liners, sublimation papers and flexible paper composites for packaging worldwide.
