At first glance young, at second glance experienced: As early as 1937, Melitta started producing household papers with the introduction of sandwich paper. This was followed by cling film and aluminium foil. Cofresco has had a strong presence in the European market since 1996 - with innovative products and strong brands.
A revolution in coffee enjoyment: With the development of the first coffee filter, Melitta Bentz, a housewife from Dresden, laid the foundation stone for the internationally renowned family business Melitta.
The company relocated its headquarters to Minden in Westphalia. The Melitta Group has been at home there right through to the present day.
After the development of the sandwich paper, we succeeded in entering the world of household papers.
Just as long as it's fresh! Melitta focuses on new materials for innovative products: cling film and aluminium foil now supplement the range.
Today, Albal® is the market leader in France and Spain for products that aid cooking, fresh keeping, baking and freezing along with leading product options for cling film, foil and baking parchment.
Melitta expands and creates two new brands, Toppits® and Swirl®, in one year for the new business segments; "Freshness and Flavour" and "Practical Cleanliness".
