MAILmedia would not be MAILmedia if the Mayer-Kuvert-network only considered envelope manufacturing without sparing a thought for the broader issues.

Against current trends of production transferral to the East, Mayer-Kuvert-network is committed to local production in its markets. Even though Mayer-Kuvert-network as the European market leader has access to numerous production sites in different countries, the MAILmedia envelopes are locally produced for the individual European markets.

To safeguard jobs at their production sites is an important part of the MAILmedia philosophy. "To produce at lower cost in the East and then sell products under the MAILmedia brand in Western markets would be the wrong approach," says Managing Director Edlef Bartl. "To begin with you may achieve higher margins but you will damage your business in the long run."

Mayer-Kuvert-network is a prime example for the often cited strategy "act globally, work locally".
