Koehler Paper today announced a strategic realignment of its product portfolio in the areas of card index stock and office cardboard, marking an important step in the future direction of its paper production operations.

Strategic Production Shift to Greiz

As part of this repositioning, production of card index stock will be relocated from the Oberkirch site to the company’s facility in Greiz, Thuringia. The Greiz plant will take on a central role in manufacturing, supported by an expanded and versatile office cardboard range.

“With the new structure, we aim to further optimize production processes, respond flexibly to market demands, and at the same time maintain our high delivery capacity,” said Marco Lang, Head of Fine Paper and Carbonless Copy Paper at Koehler Paper.

Sustainable Office Cardboard with “Blue Angel” Certification

The office cardboard produced in Greiz has a long-standing track record in organizational and office applications. Manufactured from 100% recycled fibers, the product is available in:

  • Eight pastel colors

  • Three basis weights

  • Multiple formats

The range is certified with the prestigious Blue Angel eco-label, underscoring Koehler Paper’s commitment to sustainability and environmentally responsible production.

Product Portfolio Optimization

As part of the portfolio streamlining, Koehler Paper will discontinue its accounting paper product line due to a significant and sustained decline in market demand.

The company emphasized that customers will receive continued support during the transition period. Dedicated contacts will assist with inquiries and provide guidance on suitable alternative products.

Positioning for the Future

Through this strategic realignment, Koehler Paper is strengthening its competitiveness and aligning its product portfolio with evolving market requirements. The company remains focused on efficiency, sustainability, and delivering high-quality solutions tailored to customer needs.
