Mondi, a global leader in the production of sustainable packaging and paper, is strengthening its long-standing partnership with Südwestdeutsche Salzwerke AG, one of Europe’s top salt producers. Known for the iconic Bad Reichenhaller Alpensalz brand, the company produces everything from table and pharmaceutical salt to de-icing and animal feed salt – a natural product that demands the highest standards of protection at every stage.
Mondi has been supplying Südwestdeutsche Salzwerke AG with sturdy trays for shelf placement and robust outer packaging for transport for several years. Following the acquisition of Schumacher Packaging’s Western European assets, Mondi now also provides Südwestdeutsche Salzwerke AG with sift-proof solid board packaging for direct food contact.
One trusted partner for every packaging need
Martin Horn, Head of Procurement “Direct Materials & Commodities” at Südwestdeutsche Salzwerke AG, says: “Mondi is a reliable partner for us – with coordinated logistics, high product safety and a packaging range from primary packaging to transport solutions. This ensures that our natural product, salt, remains optimally protected throughout the entire supply chain.”
Mondi’s three-plant collaboration ensures salt – a challenging product to package – remains dry, safe and hygienic through every stage of its journey.
- Mondi Forchheim produces high-quality solid board sales packaging that is food-safe, sift-proof and offset printed in up to six colours. Made from European primary fibres sourced from FSC-certified Scandinavian forests, the packaging is approved for direct food contact.
- Mondi Grünburg supplies flexo-printed corrugated trays designed to keep products secure during transport while supporting effective shelf placement.
- Mondi Bad Rappenau manufactures corrugated transport boxes for products such as dishwasher salt and animal salt lick stones, with exports to the UK market.
Expanding the portfolio for even greater choice
Mondi’s strengthened partnership with Südwestdeutsche Salzwerke AG comes as part of a broader milestone: the company has added food-safe solid board packaging to its portfolio following the acquisition of the Western Europe assets of the former Schumacher Packaging in April 2025. Customers can now access a complete range of packaging solutions – from primary to transport – all from a single source.
With its expanded range of solid board and corrugated packaging solutions, Mondi continues to strengthen its position as a comprehensive packaging partner for a wide variety of industries – for eCommerce, the food industry, fruit and vegetable sector and FMCG products. From the first step in the supply chain to the last, customers can count on secure, high-quality packaging.
