A Century-Long Legacy: Navigating Entrepreneurship, and Industrial Evolution

How it all began…

At the end of the 19th century, Germany is on the threshold of the industrial age, affluence is growing, ideas of progress dominate the world of ideas. Seized by the entrepreneurial spirit, Alois Paul, in 1893, launches his cardboard box manufacturing company in Eulau in the Sudetenland region, today in the Czech Republic. Together with his son-in-law Karl Kunert he quickly turns the family company into a high-performance industrial operation. Already shortly after the turn of the century, corrugated cardboard has become part of the product range and since the 1920s, the company also offered paper cores.

Unbroken entrepreneurial spirit

At the end of WWII, some 14 million Germans were forced to leave their homes, either as deportees or refugees. The end of the war also marked a decisive point in the Kunert Group’s history. The Kunert family were expropriated and expelled from Eulau. 250 employees were left behind. The entrepreneurial spirit of their ancestors was, however, also deeply engrained in Karl Kunert’s sons. In 1948, they rebuilt the company – initially as Wellpappen & Kartonagenfabrik Paul & Co in a closed down skittle alley in Bad Neustadt and later as Paul & Co, Inh. K. Kunert & Söhne in Wildflecken in the Rhön region, today’s headquarters for the production of paper cores.
