Gratkorn Mill

With over 400 years of paper production experience, Gratkorn Mill in Austria has been designed to create superior-quality paper using the latest technology.

Gratkorn Mill is an integrated mill situated on either side of the river Mur near Graz (Austria). The mill produces high-quality multi-coated papers which are used for premium quality publications all over the world. Sappi totally revolutionised the mill with the building of one of the largest and most advanced coated fine paper production lines in the world. This paper machine has been upgraded in 2014 and is again state of the art. The possible grammage range for coated paper has been increased. In 2015 a general rebuild of critical parts of the liquor boiler and recovery plant has been finished. Key to this upgrade is the positive environmental impact with a decrease in noise pollution and in NOX/SO2 emissions.

Gratkorn Mill produces 980,000 tons per annum of high-quality coated woodfree paper (which are used for premium quality publications all over the world), label paper and containerboard. The mill produces 250,000 tons per annum of totally chlorine-free (TCF) bleached chemical pulp for its own consumption and it has an annual sheet finishing capacity of 875,000 tons. About 95% of the mill’s production is exported. Gratkorn Mill has around 1,240 highly skilled and motivated employees.

In this modern mill, every detail has its role to play and to the people at Gratkorn Mill, attention to detail form the essence of manufacturing excellence.

​Our community

It is our policy to generate economic returns necessary to maintain a sustainable business in such a way that we continue to minimise our impact on the environment, encourage the development of our people and contribute to the communities in which we operate.

Gratkorn Mill support schools and kindergartens from our surrounding communities with donations of paper. For some of the youngest children, it is often their first contact with the paper and they use it with remarkable creativity for drawings and collages.

Teachers appreciate Sappi’s contribution and also inform their pupils about the value of paper; how it continually contributes to our civilisation as a 'culture bearer' as well as the environmentally-friendly way in which we manufacture paper from renewable raw materials.

Gratkorn is next to Graz, the second-largest city in Austria, which is the most popular university town in Austria. Gratkorn Mill cooperates with local universities, offers mill tours, internships, a diploma thesis and many more.
