European containerboard manufacturer producing 3M+ tons annually from recycled fiber
Hamburger Containerboard operates a legacy manufacturing footprint across 10 European sites, running production on industrial control systems (Siemens PLC, DCS, SCADA, HMI) alongside enterprise SAP deployment. The hiring profile skews heavily toward manufacturing and engineering roles with a notable intern cohort, reflecting both operational continuity and early-stage technical skill-building — a pattern consistent with facility modernization and energy-transition projects currently underway.
