DREWSEN - Historie

english

We cultivate the traditional paper making craft in a modern way

The present high performance paper lines do not only rely on electronics but also on the traditional crafts. These crafts have been practised in DREWSEN since 1538. A paper making tradition that is still alive today. We are influenced by this long history. Generations have inherited, passed on and constantly developed the unique and indefinable characteristics that are DREWSEN papers. This is the way our company kept pace with technical progress. Our papers have always been 'special', tailored and precision made to our individual customer requirements. This expertise, born from our heritage, is our reputation. We will continue into the future as a specialist paper maker adding to our expertise and competence as we go.
