Mayr-Melnhof Karton AG is a manufacturer in the paper and packaging industry, based in Vienna, Austria. The company is 65% family owned, with the rest free-float, and is listed on the (Wiener Börse).
Mayr-Melnhof packaging is a multi-national company with plants in Austria, Chile, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Iran, Jordan, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Russia, Spain, Turkey, Tunisia, Ukraine, and Vietnam.
Mayr-Melnhof had two plants in Great Britain, one based in Bootle, Merseyside and one in Deeside Wales. The Bootle plant worked closely with companies including Kellogg Company, while the operations at Deeside focus mainly upon food and tissue manufacturing for companies including Georgia-Pacific and Unilever. Both plants ran a weekday 3-shift system as well as a dedicated weekend crew.
At both UK plants, the company ran mainly Bobst group machinery in the cut-and-crease and finishing department, the Bootle plant operated a fully automated end of line department. In the print department of both, machinery from Koenig & Bauer was used.
Owner Franz Mayr (1810–1889) was ennobled in 1859 with the title "of Melnhof". In 1872 he received the title baron.
Bootle plant closed in 2012 due to extended industrial action https://web.archive.org/web/20140202234224/http://www.mayr-melnhof.com/en/media-center/press-releases/newsdetails/450.html
