The mill has a long history, commencing production in 1883 and continuing over 100 years later with Mercer acquiring the mill in 1994. At that time, Rosenthal was a sulphite operation; but, 5 years later, we converted the mill to a kraft pulp mill – the first of its kind in Germany. The $385.7 million project included significant upgrades which resulted in increased pulp capacity, reduced operating costs, lowered environmental impact, and improved operational efficiencies. In fact, production capacity increased by over 75% annually from 150,000 to 280,000 tonnes during this period. Mercer’s acquisition of Rosenthal came shortly after the reunification of Germany. It was a time of excitement as the mill moved into a competitive market, making a name for itself in the community as well as in the industry. Our investment in technology, modernization, and people resulted in Rosenthal becoming one of the leading modern pulp mills in Europe. Today, the mill produces about 360,000 tonnes of elemental and total chlorine-free NBSK pulp per year along with 410,000 MWh of green electricity. In 2014, we completed the construction of a modern tall oil extraction plant to round out its capabilities.
