Roxcel acquires Brigl & Bermeister

Vienna, Austria-based multinational paper trading company Roxcel Group has purchased paper manufacturer Brigl & Bergmeister from the Prinzhorn Group, taking over complete ownership.

Brigl & Bergmeister runs two production facilities in Niklasdorf, Austria, and Vevce, Slovenia, which produce an aggregate of 165,000 tons of paper a year with 500 employees.

With aggregate sales of 729 million euros (USD $1.033m) in 2010, the Roxcel Group is one of the world’s largest paper and paper board trading companies. It has a global network of sales offices in more than 100 countries. With the acquisition of Brigl & Bergmeister, Roxcel is entering the field of paper manufacturing for the first time in its history. The production arm will operate separately from Roxcel’s trading division.

‘With highly qualified, motivated employees and a strong Brigl & Bergmeister and Papirnica Vevce management team, Roxcel aims to further strengthen its pre-existing excellent business relationships in the print and packaging industry through innovative and ecologically sustainable products to further improve the supply chain,’ said the company in statement.
