Mathias Schliep, CEO Thimm Group, said: "Negotiations on the purchase of a site north of Munich are at an advanced stage. We are already working on the plant layout. We want to start construction within the next two years with a production start date scheduled for 2016."
The new factory will consolidate the company's production for southern Germany and the adjacent export markets. "Now that over the last few years we have continuously modernised and expanded our corrugated cardboard plants in Germany, Czech Republic, Poland and Romania, the new factory in Bavaria is a further strategic component of the further sustainable development of our national and international business," explained Schliep.
Thimm Verpackung is the biggest business division of the Northeim-based Thimm Group. Founded in 1949, Thimm is a family-owned business and one of the leading system suppliers of corrugated cardboard transportation and sales packaging, high-quality sales displays, multi-material packaging and packaging-related services in the European market.
