let's revolutionize paper
We are leading the paper revolution by creating specialty papers that are lightweight, functional,
and responsible. 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.
paper that performs
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 deliver exceptional product performance while always aligning innovation with responsibility.
paper that's light
Our solutions are up to 50% lighter than commodity paper, delivering exceptional performance while meeting high sustainability standards. Each of our papers is thoughtfully designed to be fit for purpose—neither overengineered nor wasteful—ensuring optimal material usage. This approach allows you to achieve greater yield from just one ton of paper, maximizing both efficiency and performance.
Thanks to its lightweight nature, our paper not only cuts transportation costs but also reduces material and storage space needs. Plus, less CO2 is generated during transportation, contributing to a more sustainable future.
paper that's responsible
delfort papers are made largely from renewable wood pulp among others. It comes only from FSC™ and/or PEFC-certified suppliers* and therefore from sustainable forestry where the cycle of planting, growing and logging is carefully controlled. Our product portfolio also includes papers that are recyclable and/or compostable (according to CEPI, TÜV) and that are free from intentionally added PFAS.
