About PaperWorld

A result of personal
commitment and a focus on you

From 1986 to today

Bo Gjetting, who is now the CEO and general manager of PaperWorld, had originally taken early retirement back in 2003. But he soon realized that the desire to help customers, to trade, to negotiate and to create mutually successful business results was pulling him too strongly. And he still feels that way.

So he went in search of a business he could help and develop further. A company in an exciting and meaningful industry - with the potential and enthusiastic drive to go far.

He soon found the company Greenport - and later also Bindon in Gentofte and Bogbinderkælderen on Bornholm. Together, Bo and Pia Gjetting acquired the three companies.

Today, the combined company is known as PaperWorld and is known as a reliable partner in the industry - with a good reputation, high-quality materials on the shelves, reliable delivery security and a robust economy.
