20 years. 20 locations. ONE team.
Twenty years ago, we brought our strengths together under one powerful name: delfort. Since then, we’ve grown into a global #teamdelfort, closer to our customers, faster in our service, and stronger in our commitment to revolutionize paper. Our people are the heartbeat of our success, the spark behind every innovation, and the driving force that keeps us moving forward. To mark this incredible milestone, we turned the spotlight on them. Their answers are bursting with personality, pride, and passion. See for yourself!

This milestone brought together deep-rooted expertise and fresh energy. Anyone who engages with us feels it: the pulse of progress, the strength of tradition, and the passion of people who make it all happen.
