Describe your business model (including type of company, products / services)
LEIPA – The Group of Companies: "A successful path is created when you walk it together."
LEIPA is an owner-managed and independent family-owned group of companies. Since Michael Leinfelder acquired the Group’s first paper mill in Schrobenhausen in 1847, we have developed from a small family business into a major European player with customers all over the world.
Our core business is paper and packaging solutions, complemented by accompanying services in the areas of logistics, recycling and sustainability consulting. These building blocks make it possible to realise closed cycles in the sense of the circular economy.
In 2022, the LEIPA Group and our over 1,700 employees generated a business volume of approximately one billion euros.
LEIPA Group GmbH acts as the holding company for the Group and sets the strategic framework for the operational activities.
LEIPA Georg Leinfelder GmbH, Leipa Logistik GmbH and MAD Recycling GmbH form the operational core of the LEIPA Group.
LEIPA Georg Leinfelder GmbH is the focus of the Group’s business operations with over 1,000 employees working at the two production sites in Schwedt/Oder and Schrobenhausen. The graphic and packaging papers (Schwedt/Oder) and board (Schrobenhausen) that they produce are 100% based on recycled fibres. In addition, there is flexible packaging (Schrobenhausen) made using paper, plastic and aluminium, however paper-based solutions with a lower plastic content will become even more prominent in the future.
Leipa Logistik GmbH is the logistics partner of LEIPA Georg Leinfelder GmbH, but it also acts as a service provider for external customers for the transportation of paper and all other general cargo.
MAD Recycling GmbH is a recycling specialist that supports the procurement of suitable waste paper within the Group with its sorting plant, as well as in other ways. In addition, this company is also active in the disposal of construction site waste, rubble, bulky waste and plastics.
With LEIPA Pack SRL in Romania, the Group has an additional international production site for printing and finishing flexible packaging.
In addition to the central German distribution, the international distribution is supported by the Group’s four own distribution subsidiaries – LEIPA UK Ltd, LEIPA France SAS, LEIPA Polska Sp.zo.o. and LEIPA Austria & CEE GmbH.
Here at LEIPA, we are dedicated to obtaining and maintaining all the necessary certifications and have one of the most extensive ranges of certifications among European paper manufacturers that use recycled fibres in the areas of environment, quality and occupational safety. All production processes are environmentally friendly. In addition, most of our products have been awarded leading international environmental certifications. (For further details see criteria of the Sustainability Code 4. Depth of the Value Chain and 6. Rules and Processes.)
