About Ehingen Mill

Nestled on the banks of the Danube in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, our Ehingen Mill makes both pulp and papers, and is famous as the world’s first chlorine-free bleaching plant.

Operating a 250m-long production line, the mill produces 150,000 tons of chlorine-free pulp, the majority of which is used in manufacturing a range of high-quality graphic and packaging papers. Around 280,000 tons of paper are produced each year – the equivalent of 1,500km of paper a day, and enough to stretch from Berlin to Rome.

Our Ehingen Mill plays an active part in the local community. In particular, we have formed strong educational partnerships with nearby schools and also support the Technical University in Munich through internships, vocational experience and apprenticeships.

The mill has introduced its own innovative practices alongside implementing Sappi’s corporate policy of sustainability and environmental protection. These include measures to increase the amount of biogenic fuels used in energy production as well as ways to reduce water consumption. Many of these improvements come as a result of ideas submitted by our people.

More about the mill

    The papers produced at Ehingen Mill are designed to provide visually outstanding surfaces and superb printing properties thanks to the mill's coating process. These multi-coated papers are available in gloss, silk and matt finishes, and range from 70 to 225 g/m² .

    Coated papers from Ehingen are used mainly in high-gloss advertising for brochures and leaflets, as well as for art catalogues, books, magazines, annual reports, calendars and more. They’re the papers of choice where the highest print quality and outstanding color reproduction are non-negotiable, and where superior results are required in die-cutting, embossing, dispersion and UV-varnishing or laminating.

    Furthermore, we also produce a superior containerboard paper designed for lamination onto corrugated and solid boards – Fusion Topliner. This premium liner is used for top-quality products, and is made from 100 % virgin fibres, featuring a full coated top side and a reverse side coating.

    Safety and health have top priority at our Ehingen Mill, which has developed its own occupational safety programme based on the slogan "Sappi.aber sicher" (“Sappi.be safe).

    This programme is regularly revised and updated, and the commitment of employees to greater occupational safety is reflected in the low number of incidents.

    In 2024 the mill reached 3 million working hours without lost time injury, earning the first ‘Diamond Safety Award’ for Sappi Europe.

    This major milestone reflects the dedication, vigilance and strong safety culture of each and every employee.

    We are proud of our commitment and for setting new standards in workplace safety. Together, we continue to build a safer future!

    Thanks to Ehingen’s state-of-the-art technology, the mill requires highly trained specialists across a number of disciplines, including paper technologists, engineers, mechanics and electricians, environmental technologists for wastewater management and industrial clerks.

    Apprenticeships play a key role in bringing through the next generation of specialists. That’s why we take on 10 apprentices each year – and why the mill offers a dual-study programme leading to a Bachelor of Engineering degree in paper technology and also a dual-study programme in business administration. Those who successfully complete their training are offered positions at the mill. We also offer students the opportunity of internships, working student jobs or vacation work. After studying electrical engineering, it is possible to start a 2-year trainee program with us in order to take your first steps in professional life with good training

    Caring for the environment

    In line with Sappi’s ambitious sustainability goals, Ehingen Mill runs a range of important initiatives. These include employing wastewater to generate energy and using biogenic fuels to power the plant – all designed to look after the mill’s immediate environment while helping to promote a thriving world.

    Improving energy efficiency

    In 2021, three Sappi Ehingen Mill employees had the idea of using a heat exchanger to recover otherwise-lost heat when cooling the digesters – and hit upon a way to make the plant more efficient and sustainable. Energy recovered in the new process resulted in energy savings of 16,000 MWh per year. At the same time, with less sulphur dioxide and hydrogen peroxide required, the load on the wastewater treatment plant is reduced.

    Wastewater generates green energy

    Wastewater is a byproduct of the paper-making process. At Ehingen Mill this water is treated so that it creates biogas, which is then fed into one of three methane reactors to generate energy. The residue water from this procedure is then purified so that it can be safely released into the Danube river.

    Responsible wood sourcing

    By sourcing woodfibre that originates from controlled, non-controversial sources in accordance with the PEFC and FSC™ standards and Sappi’s responsible sourcing requirements, we support forests and forest communities worldwide but also demonstrate our commitment to protecting biodiversity, preventing deforestation, and creating a forest-positive future.

    Powered by biogenic energy

    Around 85% of the primary energy used to power Ehingen Mill comes from biogenic fuels made using organic matter left over from production processes: pulp liquor, biogas from wastewater treatment, plus bark and wood residues. The power plant is operated using the so-called co-generation process, which means that steam is used both for heat supply and for electricity generation.
