Media Print Paderborn: crisis meeting after millions of hall roof drama

Media Print Paderborn: crisis meeting after millions of hall roof drama

Eggertstraße, 33106 Paderborn, Deutschland - In Paderborn there are currently pressing challenges for Mediaprint. On Sunday morning, June 15th, 2025, a crisis meeting took place on Eggertstrasse in the Benhauser Feld industrial estate. Managing Director Tobias Kaase and company founder Otto Drosihn were on site to assess the situation together with other managers after the severe storm damage. During the meeting, the company was discussed on the company's future approach, since the building roof of the production facility has collapsed and major damage to buildings and machines have occurred, such as Westfalen-blatt reported.

The worries are not unfounded. Medoprint specializes in the needs-based production in printing and bookbinding and attaches great importance to sustainability. The challenge of not only keeping up with increasing customer expectations, but also striving for an empty inventory at the end of the product life cycle, is even more complicated by the current incident. A focused risk management is now of crucial importance in order to cope with the significant financial damage that can result from such unexpected crises. This is also shown by an investigation of [Arvato-Systems] (https://www.arvato-systems.de/blog/krisenmanagement-im-unter-aus-krise-in-the future) that can indicate the universal risks that can endanger business plans.

creativity and innovation in the crisis

Despite the current adversity, Mediaprint strives to adapt its strategy. With innovative approaches such as the Order Connect interface, which enables real-time transmission of orders and status feedback, the company aims to remain resilient even in turbulent times. The digitization of process management is a central goal to further increase efficiency and to secure the more urban capacity utilization.

In addition, MediaPrint actively takes part in specialist conferences to find out more about the latest developments in the areas of process optimization and sustainable production. This was finally done at the event "Manufacture meets!" in May 2025. Such measures help to reorganize the course for the future despite adverse circumstances and to further develop the organization under the difficult conditions.

sustainability in focus

A fundamental part of Mediaprint's strategy is to maintain high standards in terms of sustainability. The company uses 100% sustainable paper, which consists of sawmill waste and plantation wood. MediaPrint not only makes an important contribution to environmental protection, but also avoids costs through overproduction and waste. This philosophy is supported by membership in networks such as Umdex Premium service providers and sustainability ratings by Ecovadis.

In the light of the latest developments, it becomes exciting to observe how Mediaprint will manage the crisis and which creative solutions they fall back on to emerge from this situation. It is clear to the company and the region: in times of crisis, the courage to innovate has to be put a lot more on the table.
