It started with a
piece of paper

Welcome to Format Productions. Your partner for paper format development and production.

It started with a piece of paper…

So many things begin with a piece of paper. The first A, the first draft of a house, the first signature, the first painting. For us, too, it all started with a piece of paper. Since 1976, we have been developing and offering a wide and deep variety of individually tailored paper goods and brand-name products with deep ecological roots worldwide.

Tailored to a variety of people and their needs. The urge to jot things down quickly, to organize step by step, to create artistically, to create creatively, the desire to draw, craft, plan. We develop and supply customized paper goods for everyone who simply needs to put something on paper.

For us, environmental protection is not just words, but actions ...

Creativity Education YourNeeds Organi-sation

Format Productions stands for understanding paper. We understand four paper product ranges particularly well – education, organization, individuality, and creativity. We carry highly empathetic and competent brands in these four paper product ranges.

Our educational brands in the “understanding education” sector have pedagogical expertise that goes far beyond paper processing. Here, we work with experts to develop products that not only support education and learning progress, but also promote them.

For us, “understanding organization” means that we develop, manufacture, and supply products that make all kinds of organization easier. In the office, at university – wherever note-taking and planning are relevant – we have the competent products for the job.

With our brands in the “understanding your needs” segment, we supply inspiring paper formats for special moments. And last but not least, paper promotes and supports creativity in people.

For us, “understanding creativity” means that we are the foundation and inspiration for our customers’ creative spirit. And thus the starting point for creative work.

Energy

Energy plays a central role in our lives – including us as an industrial company, of course. Without energy, all our machines would grind to a halt. Where this energy comes from is very important to us:
On the one hand we obtain energy directly from our photovoltaic system, on the other hand we also rely on electricity from hydropower – this choice represents a further step towards a more sustainable future and emphasises the need to make conscious decisions about our energy sources.

climate neutratility

We endeavour to keep our carbon dioxide footprint as small as possible: In recent years, we have laid the foundations for a company that is as climate-friendly as possible with a comprehensive energy efficiency project. The conscious choice of our energy sources is essential here. We offset the unavoidable amount of CO2 emissions released into the atmosphere by supporting global climate protection projects.

The certification by Climate Partner confirms that these efforts are bearing fruit: it shows that the Format Werk & Staufen Group not only reduces its own emissions, but also fulfils all the requirements of a modern, climate-friendly company in terms of offsetting.

photovoltaics

The power of the sun as a clean, inexhaustible source of energy has been of interest to us for several years. Thanks to continuous investment in the expansion of the photovoltaic system on our company building, we are now able to generate over half of our electricity requirements from our own power.
This not only enables us to reduce our operating costs, but also to actively contribute to climate protection. Every ray of sunlight that hits our panels brings us one step closer to our goal of completely sustainable production.

Digital accessibility

To ensure that the content on our website is accessible to as many people as possible, we design our company website to be barrier-free: rich colours, easy-to-understand language, a clear structure and responsive design help to create an inclusive digital environment.

Accessibility in the digital space is an essential aspect of providing everyone with equal access to information and services. However, in our endeavours to achieve maximum accessibility on our website, we sometimes encounter technical challenges. One example of this is full screen reader support. While we endeavour to make text content and navigation elements fully accessible, there may be limitations with complex graphics or interactive animations.

We are aware that the development towards a fully accessible platform is an ongoing process. That’s why we value the feedback and comments from people who rely on web accessibility. Your input is essential for us to make our website as inclusive as possible.

social commitment

Our commitment to environmental and climate protection has led the way for the paper industry. However, we are also particularly committed to social projects. Together with our cooperation partners, we support the fight for equal opportunities and education for all.
We are particularly committed when it comes to children and young people, as they are known to suffer the most from social inequality.
In 2022, for example, we initiated a fundraising campaign in favour of Ukrainian schoolchildren in Austria and provided them with a total of 35,000 exercise books.

compliance

Honesty and transparency are fundamental values in our company. In addition to binding legal principles, we also expect ethically impeccable behaviour in order to ensure smooth cooperation – both internally and with customers and service providers. Our code of conduct serves as a guideline in this regard.
Compliance is achieved through a clear commitment to acting with integrity on the part of the management and responsible behaviour on the part of all employees.

quality

Environmentally friendly paper is no longer coarse and greyish. With an extremely high degree of whiteness and a pleasant feel, our recycled paper is in no way inferior in quality to paper made from virgin fibre.
Every exercise book, every college pad and all our other products made from recycled paper impress with their fine texture for a pleasant writing experience.
By this means, we manage the balancing act of meeting users’ requirements while at the same time demonstrating a sense of ecological responsibility.

Circular economy

To reduce the environmental impact of our production, we endeavour to keep products and materials in a closed loop wherever possible. This means that we reuse and recycle resources to minimise the need for new raw materials and reduce waste.
In this way, the entire life cycle of paper products is designed to be sustainable at Format Werk Staufen Group.
