Huchtemeier Papier GmbH

Company profile

Huchtemeier is a traditional family company with more than 120 years of history.

Since 1959 it is owned and run by family Voßschulte in Dortmund, Germany.

Today we are focussing on tissue-products and raw-materials. We are supplying wholesalers with hygiene-paper and napkins and we are supplying the tissue-industry with raw-materials and semi-finished products. Frequently Huchtemeier acts as sub-contractor for multinational tissue-cooperations.

Our strength is a lean and flexible operation. This guarantees best value for our customers. We are able to customize private- and white-lable-products already in small batch-sizes. Huchtemeier avoids any organizational waste, not contributing to our customers’ benefits. We translate our cost-efficient production into price-efficient products.

Our production is decentralized with local partnerships, mainly in Eastern Europe.

There we are taking care of sourcing, production planning, logistics, quality management, warehousing and machinery investments. Center of our strategy is one of the best-developed networks within Europe’s tissue-industry. It is our goal to maintain business relations to every European tissue-company. We want to be Europe’s No. 1 in tissue, when it comes to fast and customized solution
