Profile

The Company

Since 1925, Gascogne Papier, a specialist in natural unbleached Kraft paper, has been developing 100% natural and innovative specialty paper around the world to meet the most demanding packaging and industry needs.

Gascogne Papier, the Paper activity for the Gascogne group’s Packaging Division.

Gascogne Papier (formerly “Papeteries de Gascogne”) was founded in 1925 by foresters to find a market for maritime pine by-products and promote the sustainable development of the Landes de Gascogne forest (maintenance and reforestation).
The integrated factory, located in Mimizan in the Landes area of France, produces pulp and natural unbleached Kraft paper on four specialised paper machines. Since 2009, Gascogne Papier has been developing a new range of coated technical papers with multiple applications using a high-tech coating unit at its production site.
Gascogne Papier’s strong local attachment and contribution to local economic development have helped it become an incredibly successful company. Its diversification strategy for its PAPER activity led to the creation of a large group in the Wood – Paper – Packaging sector: the GASCOGNE group.

From forest to paper, using an environmentally-friendly manufacturing process since 1925.

Gascogne Papier is a specialist in natural unbleached Kraft paper and a new player on the special coated papers market.
