The plant in Wörth, southwest Germany, is conveniently situated on an industrial site close to the motorways A 5 and A 65 as well as the river Rhine. The paper machine, PM6, which started up in 2002, has a capacity of 750,000 tonnes per annum and is the world's second largest machine in this field. To date, three world speed records have been achieved on this machine. This paper mill is one of the most efficient in the world.
The site has its own railway sidings and its own loading quay at the Rhine port. Since 2007 a company-owned power plant supplies the paper mill with its own steam and electricity produced on site.
