Our management team, Mr. Harald Ganster and Mr. Gerald Prinzhorn, along with the management of Austropapier—the Association of the Austrian Paper Industry—Ms. Sigrid Eckhardt, were guests of Federal Minister Peter Hanke.
The discussion focused on the key concerns of the Austrian paper industry—in particular, reducing high energy costs and taking steps to cut red tape—in order to restore Austria’s competitiveness as a business location.
The Austrian paper industry is a systemically important sector, a major employer, and a pioneer in sustainability, the circular economy, and renewable energy. To secure future investments, jobs, and climate goals, reliable and competitive framework conditions are essential.
This constructive dialogue is an important step toward underscoring the significance of our industry as a sustainable employer, a driver of innovation, and an integral part of the circular economy.
