Mayr-Melnhof packaging is a multi-national company with plants in Austria, Chile, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Iran, Jordan, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Russia, Slovenia, Spain, Turkey, Tunisia, Ukraine, and Vietnam.

The family owned town palaces in Graz and Vienna, as well as several other castles across Austria, such as Glanegg, Kogl, Neu-Pfannberg, Jagdschloss Hochalm, which served as their country residencies.

Notably, in 2014, approximately 50 million euros were invested in developing the ‘Foodboard’ cardboard, a sustainable product designed to replace plastic packaging in the food industry.

Additionally, at the beginning of August, the Mayr-Melnhof Group expanded its operations by acquiring the cardboard and paper mills in Kwidzyn, Poland, and Kotkamills, Finland.

However, due to the economic impacts stemming from the Russian war against Ukraine, which led to a decline in global market demand, the plant had to temporarily reduce its production in the summer of 2023 and shut down its cardboard machines.

The production facilities of MM Board & Paper are distributed across several countries including the following key locations: Bootle plant closed in 2012 due to extended industrial action https://web.archive.org/web/20140202234224/http://www.mayr-melnhof.com/en/media-center/press-releases/newsdetails/450.html
