Strategy
Perlen Papier is fundamentally committed to cost-efficient production and the optimal use of available resources. In its regional sales market in Western Europe, the company pursues a strategy of achieving long-term success in a competitive market through flexible production and product innovations. This is based on the conviction that, thanks to long-term customer relationships, a strong balance sheet, and excellent expertise, the company can outperform the competition in the market and thus continue to operate successfully in the relevant markets in the future. At the same time, Perlen Papier is consistently further developing its business model and intends to expand its accessible market segment through flexible packaging and fibre products (i.e., fibre moulding).
Flexible Packaging
Perlen Papier’s newly developed, recyclable base papers for flexible packaging solutions combine functionality, processability, and sustainability. They are suitable for applications such as pouches, packaging, and wrappers, particularly in the food and consumer goods sectors. The focus is on innovative paper solutions with specific barrier and surface properties (e.g., single- or double-sided coatings) that can be individually tailored depending on the application.
A key advantage is their high environmental performance. The papers are based on a combination of virgin fibres and recycled material and have a significantly reduced carbon footprint compared to industry standards. This positions Perlen Papier as a provider of sustainable, high-performance paper solutions for modern, flexible packaging concepts.

Fibre moulding
Fibre moulding for fibre-based packaging solutions are considered a promising, recyclable alternative to plastic and are increasingly being used, for example, in trays, packaging, or bottles. With fibre moulding, Perlen Papier offers a recyclable solution that can be easily disposed of with waste paper and combines cost-effectiveness with sustainability. Thanks to its existing fibre infrastructure (waste paper, wood pulp, cellulose) and comprehensive expertise, Perlen Papier is thus able to fully close the waste paper resource cycle, from collection to the finished product. This combination of a closed-loop economy and comprehensive fibre infrastructure gives Perlen Papier a strong starting position to build up this business segment in Switzerland.

Another focus is on the further development and optimal utilization of the expansive industrial site in Perlen. The site offers extensive opportunities to be further developed and utilized to the fullest through the establishment of complementary industrial activities.
Perlen Industrieholding AG is a holding company which is not operationally active. The company interacts primarily with stakeholders, and with investors in particular.
