100 YEARS OF INNOVATION
DEBATIN: A century of history & innovation
In 1923, Anton Debatin and Rudolf Berger founded the “Debatin & Berger Paper Company” in Bruchsal. The company began its story in a former horse stable, where it focused on producing and trading paper goods and short-run print products: bags and pouches, paper for packaging and wrapping, and wax paper.
Today, from its headquarters in Bruchsal and subsidiary in Hoenheim (France), the DEBATIN Group is one of the market leaders in the industry and has made a name for itself as a specialist and solution provider for the entire transport and logistics process.
We hope you enjoy this fascinating and varied journey through a century of innovation during an exciting period of history!

For a full century, we have boldly tackled challenges – and mastered them magnificently. We have set new standards, stepped off the beaten track, and helped to shape our industry. We have a reputation for our innovative spirit, expertise and flexibility, as well as our courage and resolve to strike out in new directions.”
