Hubert von Carnap is founded
The company takes its name from its founder, Hubert von Carnap. Over successive generations, a business processing paper and board developed into a specialist manufacturer of custom carton packaging.
SINCE 1870
A legacy that keeps moving forward.
From a carton factory to a modern packaging manufacturer in Windeck — key milestones from more than 150 years of HvC.
MILESTONES
For us, tradition does not mean standing still.
This timeline provides a factual summary of our own company announcements and earlier press coverage. Third-party newspaper articles are not reproduced in full for copyright reasons.
Production in Windeck-Mauel
Windeck-Mauel has been our production location since the 1970s. Development, offset printing and converting work closely together here, with short communication paths.
“Everything important is made of board”
An article in the Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger presented the company’s long tradition and the wide range of carton packaging it manufactures.
Apprenticeships and the region
HvC reported on its apprenticeship programmes and presented its occupations at the Windeck jobs and apprenticeship fair. Regional reports also covered the Windeck-Mauel site and its photovoltaic system.
150 years of HvC — and a major fire
In its anniversary year, HvC looked back on 150 years of company history. At the same time, severe fire damage presented the business with an exceptional challenge and marked the start of an intensive period of rebuilding.
A fresh start with the Rapida 145
HvC invested in the future of the site with a new large-format offset press from Koenig & Bauer. The General-Anzeiger, Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger and Koenig & Bauer covered the inauguration, production and rebuilding.
Packaging development and manufacturing under one roof
HvC develops and manufactures custom solid-board packaging for industrial, food, pharmaceutical and dangerous goods applications. Modern technology and personal collaboration continue the company’s story.
