Hamburger Hungaria Ltd.
The specialties of the company are the light weight AustroLiner and AustroWelle, due to the start-up in 2009 of the high capacity, world class paper machine (PM7) next to its already existing paper machine (PM3) with the investment of about 280 million EUR.
The waste paper based production prevents the Hungarian society of transporting recovered paper to waste disposal sites; on the contrary, the paper mill produces a higher added-value product by recycling, so Hamburger Hungaria can be regarded as the most significant unit of environmental protection in Hungary.
A modern, environmental friendly power plant with investment of 150 million Euros started its operation in 2016 to fully and continuously meet the energy demand of the paper mill and simultaneously to utilize the paper production by-products in form of energy.
The Prinzhorn Group invested about EUR 800 million in Dunaujvaros in 2007-2023 to own an up-to-date, technology leader paper mill. By today, the Dunaujvaros site has become one of the most successful units of the Prinzhorn Group.

Speed: max. 1035 m/min
Basis weights: 90 - 175 g/m²
Products: AustroLiner 2 / AustroLiner 3 / AustroFluting plus / AustroFluting R / AustroWelle
The PM3 went into operation in 1976. Its first most significant technology development was implemented in 2016, that resulted worldwide unique high, 95,6% and stable time efficiency. In 2019 was its second most important modernisation, so PM3 turned to 1035 m/min production speed and the production capacity increased by 5%.
PM7
Annual capacity: 490.000 tons of brown recycled containerboard
Working width: 780 cm
Speed: max. 1500 m/min
Basis weights: 70 - 150 g/m²
Products: AustroLiner 1 / AustroLiner 3 light / AustroFluting plus / AustroFluting R / AustroWelle light
The maximum production speed of PM7 established in 2009 was 1400 m/minute, which was increased to a maximum speed of 1500 m/minute (90 km/h) in years 2015 and 2016, with sustaining a stable production. This development project involved production capacity increase by 40%, so from 350.000 to 500.000 tons/year.
