Cham Paper Group
The Cham Paper Group is a leading manufacturer of coated speciality papers.
Surface finishing lends papers properties that generate value added for its
customers. The company, which was founded in 1657, has three sites, one in
Switzerland (Cham) and two in Italy (Carmignano and Condino), and a global
sales network.
The decision to focus on development and sales and discontinue paper
manufacturing in Switzerland has made way for a new project on the factory
site in the centre of Cham. The Cham Paper Group is developing an
eleven-hectare quarter there called the Papieri site.
