Within its Western European regional sales market, Perlen Papier pursues a cost leadership strategy which should help maintain its business viability in a predatory market environment (Last Man Standing Strategy). The strategy adopted is combined with the conviction that, with the paper manufacturing sector continuing to consolidate, cost leadership, long-term customer relations, a sound balance sheet and outstanding specialist expertise will enable Perlen Papier to more than hold its own in its markets and deliver further business success. With its almost carbon-neutral production, Perlen Papier has also established itself as a sustainable supplier of publication papers, which further helps the company stand out from its competitors.

A strategic focus will also be placed on further developing the Perlen industrial site. The site, which is attractively located and already enjoys extensive logistical and infrastructural facilities, should be better utilized and further developed through the addition of complementary industrial activities.

Anchor family shareholders Swiss Industrial Finance AG and the Elly Schnorf-Schmid Foundation view themselves as long-term investors, and will remain actively and instrumentally involved in the company’s future development.

Perlen Industrieholding AG is a holding company which is not operationally active. The company interacts primarily with stakeholders, and with investors in particular.
