Philosophy

We produce our papers with passion and focus on quality instead of quantity, we are a manufactory rather than a factory.  The best raw materials, craftsmanship skills, a lot of handicraft and a co-operative relationship with our customers make for the excellent and internationally acclaimed quality of our products. 

For centuries now, papers characterised by the ‘Rooster’ have been used by artists or as reliable media for technical applications. Our innovation power resulted in the invention of the ‘FineArt Inkjet Papers’. Hahnemühle is the pioneer in this area and remains the world leading provider of fine-art inkjet papers.   

Painters, graphic artists and designers, illustrators, printers, photographers advertising experts, archivists, bookbinders, art students, scientists, engineers and lab assistants – they all use papers and cardboards by Hahnemühle. For each of them, paper is a natural working appliance that has to meet high standards for different reasons. With Hahnemühle papers, our customers emphasize the features when it comes to art and fine-art printing and the safe and reliable results in the technical area. 

At Hahnemühle, paper technologists, product managers, application technicians, lab assistants and salesmen are working every day in cooperation with our art and industry partners on enhancing our papers. For the best papers and the appropriate accessories, we offer each of our partners advice, technological assistance, customer-specific developments and designs as well as production on schedule.

The result of our tradition- and quality-conscious work delights Hahnemühle fans worldwide. Whether they are creative with our artists' papers, use fine watermark papers for writing or use technical speciality papers for complex research and industrial applications.

All Hahnemühle papers have been certified by independent institutes to be highly resistant to ageing - our Artist Papers as well as our FineArt Inkjet papers - and vegan, in order to meet the highest requirements of customers. We are certified as a company for our quality management according to ISO 9001 and are audited regularly.
