20 Years of Algro Design
Our premium paperboard has established itself as the leading brand in the business – and our partners have been happy to tell us why.
We were proud and happy in October when Algro Design celebrated its 20th birthday and partners from all over the world celebrated with us. In the years since its introduction, Algro Design’s characteristics have clearly hit a sweet spot that helps our customers and partners achieve their goals in high-quality packaging.
But you don’t have to take our word for it, just review what our partners have to say…
For Martin Appoldt, Director and Owner of g.a.s. unternehmenskommunikation, Algro Design has established itself as his company’s favourite substrate for packaging and high-end finishing. He says that the paperboard does everything he could ask of it – and even thanks the Sappi paper nerds for this great product!
Meanwhile, Andreas Bernhard, CEO of Fischer Papier, says he would rather sing Tina Turner’s “Simply the Best” instead of Stevie Wonder’s “Happy Birthday”:
Patrick Deserre, Sales Director at Groupe Verpack, appreciates Algro Design’s quality and printability. The paper’s whiteness, he says, has contributed to Verpack’s reputation, winning over a number of well-known brands:
For many years, Frank Denninghoff, Managing Director at GRÄFE Druckveredelung, has made the most of special finishing with Algro Design by enhancing packaging with cold transfer, embossing and other creative finishing processes. He appreciates the paper’s excellent surface as well as its shaping and converting properties.
A partner since the beginning, Jörg Raschpichler, Head of Purchasing at Bertelsmann Marketing Services/Mohn Media, values the quality consistency of Algro Design. For decades, Bertelsmann has used our paperboard for high-class magazine covers.
As our long-term merchant partner, Igepa Group makes sure that Algro Design is readily available in the market. Thomas Gora, Team Leader Sales, went so far as creating an ingenious rhyme to celebrate the anniversary.
Elsewhere, it is impossible to imagine today’s cosmetics, perfume and luxury beverage industries without our premium Algro Design paperboard. Which is why, for our birthday, Kenzo was one of many who sent a message of appreciation.
Michael Krapp, Sales Manager at Model Kramp, knows all about the requirements of the cosmetics industry and produces wonderful creations on our substrate. As an Algro Design partner since launch, he values the paper’s characteristics which perfectly respond to the industry’s requirements.
Finally, for more than 10 years, Druckpartner has produced the Mondberge calendar – one of the most popular wildlife conservation calendars – on Algro Design. We are happy that all three publishers of the related Mondberge magazine, Dirk Wahlscheidt, Manging Director Contravis, Andreas Klotz, Owner of advertising agency Tipp 4, and Michael Matschuck, Managing Partner druckpartner, used the opportunity of our paperboard’s anniversary to promote the 2024 edition, not least because the proceeds from the calendar’s sales go towards projects in Africa to help ensure a rich biodiversity for future generations.
