Our team
The team of the Modellfabrik Papier
Rethinking industrial paper production: that is our mission. To achieve this, we are challenging the highly automated manufacturing process and looking for completely new approaches to secure paper production for the future, contribute to climate protection and ensure the economic strength of the industry. What guides our research? We ask the right questions and look for innovative solutions off the beaten track. All the way to the question of whether paper could be produced without water at all.
Scientifically excellent, collaborative and consistently results-oriented
How we work? In the laboratory, in the office, at conferences – always with our hearts in the matter, together with the best minds of our research partners and our shareholders.
