The company was founded in 1829 in Nordhorn by brothers Anton and Carl Linde as a tobacco packaging manufacturer. It was not long before the company was supplying boxes and folding cartons for a range of applications on an international scale. In 1905 the company relocated to Denekamp where it remains to this day. The company is now a leading manufacturer of folding cartons for the food and non-food markets, pharma and healthcare industry and cosmetics.

The Denekamp based manufacturer was acquired by Clondalkin Group (clondalkingroup.com) in 2001 as part of the Group's international expansion. Clondalkin Group is an international producer of high value added packaging products and services with over 35 production locations in 8 different countries throughout Europe and North America.

Ken Haan,  managing director of Clondalkin Consumer Denekamp, talking about the success of the business says: "It is with great pride that we celebrate 185 years in business. Our knowledge about folding cartons is well respected within the industry and we have businesses that we've worked with for over a century. 

"We are well invested in customized press and finishing equipment and have decades of specialist experience in flexible production runs and short delivery times. Our company was founded on entrepreneurial spirit and hard work, all of which remain firmly rooted in our culture and will continue to lead us into the future."

Malcolm Farnan, sales & marketing director from Clondalkin Group, adds: "To reach such a significant milestone is a huge achievement. Denekamp employs many talented people and it is due to them and the company’s constant innovation and investment in the latest technology that it remains a thriving business and will continue for many years to come."

Clondalkin Consumer Denekamp is part of the Group's Specialist Packaging Division which consists of Clondalkin Pharma & Healthcare and Clondalkin Consumer.
