Gmund, showcasing a range of its products at Drupa, claimed it operates the world's first carbon-neutral paper mill in southern Germany. “The company utilises homemade renewable energy sources and cleans all water used in the papermaking process. This commitment to sustainability and reducing environmental impact is a hallmark of Gmund's operations,” said Stephanie Strassburger, vice-president for Asia and Pacific at Gmund.

Strassburger told PrintWeek that Gmund plans to launch several new paper lines uniquely designed for the Indian market in January 2025.  

Working closely with top printing press manufacturers, Strassburger informed that Gmund papers are optimised for a variety of printing technologies, including offset, digital, and speciality processes. "Gmund provides full technical support to ensure printers can realise the full potential of each paper product."

"From luxurious wedding invitations and packaging to high-end commercial communications, Gmund papers will bring added value, beauty, and creativity to any project," said Strassburger.
