We love to explore & innovate. Our passion: finding new & unexpected solutions together with and for our customers.
let's revolutionize paper
We are driving the paper revolution by creating specialty papers designed to reduce material use through lightweight construction. These powerful core principles drive us to develop high–performance products, innovate new technologies and collaborate with a diverse network of stakeholders to shape a better future.
high performance papers
Innovation drives everything we do, from enhancing our existing products to developing groundbreaking new solutions. Our paper is designed to fulfill a specific purpose: some are air-permeable, others oxygen-impermeable, some are insulating, while others are grease-resistant or heat- and cold-sealable.
At the same time, we continually invest in the best available technologies, state-of-the-art machinery, and optimized processes. This enables us to integrate environmental, social and operational considerations into product development and manufacturing processes.
leigthweight papers
Selected paper grades are up to 50% lighter than comparable conventional paper grades, delivering exceptional performance. Each of our papers is thoughtfully designed to be fit for purpose - neither overengineered nor wasteful - ensuring optimal material usage. Selected lightweight grades may increase material yield compared with heavier alternatives.
Lower basis weights may reduce transport and storage requirements, depending on supply chain and application.
responsibly designed paper
delfort papers are made largely from renewable wood pulp among others. It comes only from FSC™ and/or PEFC-certified suppliers* where the cycle of planting, growing and logging is carefully controlled. Our product portfolio also includes selected paper grades that are recyclable and/or compostable as verified under applicable CEPI and/or TÜV criteria.
