With effect from July 1, 2020, the two paper wholesalers Papier Union GmbH and Papyrus Deutschland GmbH & Co. KG merged and are now trading as Inapa Deutschland GmbH. This completes the consolidation of Inapa Group, Portugal, parent company of Papier Union, Papyrus Deutschland and Inapa Deutschland, in its German business. Inapa Deutschland now employs over 1,000 people* at numerous locations throughout Germany. The headquarters are located in Hamburg.
By combining the strengths of both companies, a unified product range and stronger logistics, the Inapa Group sees the right strategic response to current and future challenges in the paper market.
Thomas Schimanowski, CEO of Inapa Deutschland GmbH: "We are very proud that we have succeeded in a merger at eye level, which was prepared in a very open and solution-oriented manner and with a great deal of commitment from both sides. Together we will find it easier to maintain what both wholesalers were already known for before the merger: customer proximity, an excellent product range, a high level of service and strong logistics. The increasing demands of our customers on a modern wholesale company are the focus of our activities. It is therefore now essential to further develop our existing strengths with an even more individualized range of products and improved consulting services and to rapidly implement the technical innovations required to meet these demands".
The portfolio of Inapa Germany combines the best of the previous product worlds of Papier Union and Papyrus Germany.
