Starting from a grain mill, another paper mill was set up in 1867 by the paper manufacturer Friedrich Brücher from Reichenbach in today's Bensheim-Wilmshausen, which produced wrapping paper and cardboard. In particular, bookbinders and banks in the metropolis and the surrounding area were supplied via the sales warehouse in Frankfurt am Main. Lacquered hard cardboard for the leather goods, automobile and television industries was added later.

While the raw materials used were initially rag and cellulose, over the years only various types of waste paper were used. The Brücher company had become a typical recycling company.

Business relationships with Germany and especially abroad ensure a diverse delivery program for a company that has been managed by the owner for generations.
