LAHNPAPER – Speciality papers and non-wovens from Lahnstein

Speciality papers and non-wovens for graphical, technical and security-related applications

Lahnpaper is a speciality paper manufacturer with 115 years of manufacturing expertise, shaped by German engineering. We develop, produce and distribute fibre-based materials specifically designed as base materials for coating, printing and further processing.

Our products operate at the intersection of paper, textiles/non-wovens and films. Lahnpaper is not a conventional paper manufacturer. Instead, we develop high-performance fibre materials across all three categories – tailored to the specific requirements of each application.

Our product portfolio provides solutions for industrial applications, the printing industry, wallcoverings and document security. Our customers share a common expectation: materials must fulfil multiple functions such as tear resistance, printability, durability and special haptic features.

With many years of experience, a high level of vertical integration and a clear commitment to quality, we deliver customised solutions for national and international markets.
As part of Kajo Neukirchen Management und Beteiligungs-GmbH, LAHNPAPER stands for expertise, reliability and strong development capabilities.

Machinery

Our versatile machinery enables the production and finishing of speciality papers and non-wovens across multiple process steps – from the production of base paper and base non-wovens through impregnation, smoothing and surface finishing to customer-specific converting as roll or sheet material.

The inclined wire paper machine ensures uniform fibre distribution and homogeneous sheet formation – even with blends of pulp and high proportions of synthetic fibres – thereby enabling the production of high-bulk materials.
