Mayr-Melnhof in the UK edit

Mayr-Melnhof had two plants in Great Britain, one based in Bootle, Merseyside and one in Deeside Wales.[4] The Bootle plant worked closely with companies including Kellogg Company, while the operations at Deeside focus mainly upon food and tissue[5] 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.

History edit

The family hailed from Spielberg, Styria and was first mentioned in a written document from 1423. Industry owner, Franz Mayr (1810–1889) was ennobled in 1859 with the title "Edler of Melnhof". Since then the family was styled Mayr von Melnhof. In 1872 Franz Mayr, Edler von Melnhof received the hereditary title of Baron in Austria by Franz Joseph I, for him and his legitimate male-line descendants. The family owned town palaces in Graz and Vienna, as well as several other castles across Austria, such as Glanegg and Kogl, which served as their country estates.
