The new Holledau plant for Thimm Verpackung in Wolnzach, Germany, has started production, meeting all scheduled deadlines as planned. An official opening ceremony is due to take place in May.
The first construction phase covering 26,000 square metres of the 90,000-square-metre site is now complete. Following a test run, series production has been under way at the factory since February. Production capacity is 120 million square metres. Thimm has invested a total of Euro 60 million in the plant to date.
At the Wolnzach site Thimm Verpackung produces corrugated cardboard sales and transportation packaging for both food and non-food customers in Southern Germany and the adjacent export markets. With state-of-the-art production technologies, efficient and highly automated processes, and a flexible, customer-centred structure, the company can set new standards in the production and sales of corrugated cardboard packaging. The site at Wolnzach is in an optimum geographical location in the heart of Bavaria. The plant is a perfect complement to the previous production network.
