Felix Schoeller

Felix Schoeller is a company manufacturing paper products. The company offers decorative, photo, digital, binding, and printing papers. Established in 1895 and headquartered in Osnabruck, Germany, the group develops, manufactures, and commercializes specialist papers for photographic applications and digital printing systems, including the packaging market, self-adhesive applications, and for the furniture, wood, and carpet industries.

Apart from its headquarters in Osnabruck, the Felix Schoeller Group owns manufacturing facilities at four other locations in Germany, including Weißenborn und Penig in Saxony, Titisee-Neustadt in Baden-Württemberg and Günzach in Bavaria. The company owns about nineteen locations and has a presence in eleven countries.

Felix Schoeller Group plans to expand its manufacturing operations for release liners at its Pulaski, New York facility. The planned investment and operation in North America is designed to coat solventless and solvent-based silicone systems. It is expected to be operational by 2023.

Michael Szidat, CEO of Felix Schoeller North America, said

Building the new North American operation is a very logical step in our global release liner strategy. A manufacturing presence in our key North American market will elevate us from an important supplier to a true partner for our customers. And expanding our technology to include solvent coatings will allow our customers and us to bring the Felix Schoeller performance promise to a whole new set of markets and applications.
