Company

The entrepreneurial activities of the Peters family have a long tradition which goes back to the year 1870. As a family business we are ensconced in system of values which is characterised by sustainability, long-term orientation, continuity and responsibility for the next generation. This includes also that we meet our responsibility for the environment by carrying out sustainable production processes.

With eight factories, the Peters Group of Companies offers packaging-relevant processes from one source: Starting with the production of corrugated cardboard and its processing to refinement processes, such as special printing methods. At the same time, we ensure disposal and recycling of raw materials, and moreover we operate specialist trading companies for packaging

materials.

Under the Group umbrella we develop entrepreneurial strategies together with our subsidiaries, and implement them. We support our subsidiaries in the field of organisation, purchase and administration. In this respect we profit from the flexibility and autonomy of a family-run enterprise. Short communication channels and quick decisions are achieved by flat hierarchies, a decentralised organisation as well as the competence and the personal responsibility of our staff.

It is our task to provide leadership and management for our subsidiaries in order to ensure their sustainable economic success. This comprises the development of strategies, the divisional management and the decision on investment focusses as well as the group-wide finance and company controlling. We are convinced of the principle of decentralised management which emphasises the personal responsibility of the subsidiaries. In the group of companies, we stress the group concept and look after the similarities; at the same time developing and supporting the independent fortes of the individual companies.

For our operatively independent subsidiaries we take over the central purchase, and render available cross-group fields, such as information technology, staff management or controlling, finance and treasury management.
