PIONEERING SPIRIT FOR OVER 140 YEARS

The roots of the Jagenberg Group go back to the 19th century: in 1878, Ferdinand Emil Jagenberg founded a paper wholesaler in Düsseldorf, followed in 1890 by the development and construction of the first winder. As a specialist in machine and plant engineering with more than 1500 employees worldwide, the Jagenberg Group is still characterized by its pioneering spirit and has the know-how of a leading company.
