Skjern Paper

Welcome to Skjern Paper, and welcome to the only paper mill in Denmark. We are proud to have developed the paper mill into a modern, sustainable and efficient company, adapting constantly to shifting market conditions.

Skjern Paper was established in 1965 when a group of entrepreneurial businessmen wanted to boost growth and activity in the region. The location in Skjern and the easy access to process water from the River of Skjern created the idea to acquire a paper machine abroad. Thanks to local funding and area development subsidies a paper machine was purchased and transported to Skjern on more than one hundred railway wagons.

The idea of the founders was to manufacture paper exclusively from old newspapers. They succeeded in starting production in 1967. The basic idea is still alive today, where Skjern Paper manufac­tures sustainable quality products from 100% recycled paper. Evidently, Skjern Paper was ahead of its time.

Throughout the years Skjern Paper has had a number of different owners; since 2005 Skjern Paper has been owned by Buur Invest A/S and executives engaged in the daily operation and the local community. Today, Skjern Paper is a consolidated company with focus on the manufacture of quality products for the European packaging and paper industries. Considerable funds are invested continu­ally to develop an even greener and more sustainable production.
