Twin Rivers Announces Price Increase on Specialty Products

As part of optimising the Rottneros Group, a new organisation is introduced with a group-wide sales organisation and a site manager for each mill. At the same time, a group-wide safety function is established, which becomes part of the Human Resource Department. The purpose of the new organisation is to create an increased focus within each sub-area. Through the new organisation, the mills can focus wholeheartedly on productivity, quality, environment, costs and completion of Agenda 500. The common safety function also means that we will be able to get even more out of our high-priority safety work in the future, while it can be conducted in an efficient way, comments Lennart Eberleh, President and CEO of Rottneros.

The Koehler Group has acquired 100% of the shares in Marienthaler Werbe-Offsetdruck GmbH & Co. KG. Since 2019 Koehler has been a majority shareholder in the company Marienthaler, which is based in Schleiden in the Eifel mountains, specializes in the production and distribution of coasters. Kai Furler, CEO of the Koehler Group, said: “In order to bring together the company’s expertise in the production of coasters, we have reached an agreement with the Uhlmann family to take over all of the shares in Marienthaler.” The Uhlmann family, which owned the company, has thus relinquished all its interests in the company. In July the Marienthaler site and company’s production plant in Schleiden have been seriously affected in recent days by the severe flooding that has taken place in the region. This is why customer orders from Marienthaler in Schleiden will be fulfilled by KATZ GmbH & Co. KG in Weisenbach, a comany of the Koehler Group. The aim is, to make the acquisition as smooth as possible for customers.
