On July 5, 1847 – exactly 175 years ago – Michael Leinfelder purchased the paper mill in Schrobenhausen. At the time, he probably had no idea what the small craftsman's business would later become. Namely, an international family business with customers all over the world, known for sustainable products and committed employees.
It is precisely these employees and, of course, our customers and business partners who, through their loyalty, have made it possible for us to thank them today for 175 years of LEIPA.
Many customers and partners have accompanied us for years and even decades. And although we have grown and developed continuously, we still see ourselves as one big LEIPA family.
We also do not see ourselves as a simple supplier, but also as a consultant and companion, passing on our knowledge from 175 years of sustainable paper and packaging expertise to our customers. Together, we ensure closed loops and work towards a brighter future. For today's generation, but most importantly for the generations of tomorrow and beyond.
We are very much looking forward to shaping the LEIPA of the future together with our employees and also our customers and partners.
Here's to the next 175 years!
175 years of LEIPA – Congratulations. LEIPA is a blessing for Schrobenhausen. Many people find a job here and can be proud of their company, where sustainability is also a matter of course. I wish LEIPA only the very best for the future.

Incredible achievement and testament to LEIPA as a company...I’ve long admired the length of service of individual employees but to achieve such a milestone as a family owned company and continuing to think about the future is absolutely phenomenal!

As a retailer that has always placed great emphasis on "sustainability" and "limiting waste streams," we made a conscious decision to choose Leipa. Congratulations on our 175th anniversary.

To have existed 175 years in a constantly changing political as well as economic environment and to still be passionate enough to want to write another 175 years of successful family history is a real achievement and therefore from me a hearty "well done"!
