Founded in 1910, Joh. Leupold GmbH & Co KG is one of Germany’s leading manufacturers of packaging solutions and sales displays. With a 17,000 m2 production area the company is also one of the country’s largest independent producers of folding cartons. Leupold’s portfolio of products and services includes folding cartons, blister cards, blank cuts, corrugated packaging, displays and collapsible cartons, as well as individualised custom-made products. It manufactures around 1.5 million state-of-the-art packaging items on a daily basis.

Leupold supplies its products to both regional SMEs and international corporations, including sophisticated designs with innovative finishing techniques for numerous consumer goods manufacturers in the USA and France. The company can cater efficiently to any customer requirement, with production runs from one unit to millions of units, while offering excellent value for money.

Waterland acquired Leupold and Schneller in summer 2020 as part of a succession plan, thereby setting the course for the establishment of a new platform in the folding carton market. In coming years the company will be developed into a European quality leader in the area of folding carton production through both organic growth as well as targeted acquisitions.
