Our History
J. Ungerth AB has its roots in Jan Liebig Ltd which was established in Gothenburg in 1925 by Jan Ungerth's grandfather Jan Liebig, born in 1900. The business concept was to market paper from mills in Sweden, Norway and Finland to overseas markets, mainly in Asia and Africa. The company grew rapidly and became one of the main trading houses in Scandinavia, with offices in Bombay, Calcutta and Singapore. Apart from paper and board Jan Liebig Ltd exported large quantities of pulp and sawn timber.
Jan Liebig Ungerth, owner and managing director of J. Ungerth AB, started his career in 1982 at Jan Liebig Ltd after having spent a year, as a young man, in Senegal, which is today one of our main markets.
J. Ungerth AB was established in 1995 with the focus on newsprint, publication papers and sack kraft paper. The main markets are in Africa, the Middle East and Asia which are visited regularly by our sales division.
We have made it a policy to remain a rather small company with a personal touch from the first step to the efficient delivery of the goods. We concentrate on being a reliable and creative partner to our mills and to our clients. Welcome to J. Ungerth AB!

Jan Ungerth Managing Director & Sales | Member of the Board Sack Kraft Paper, Graphic Paper, Specialities Email: jan.ungerth@ungerth.se Direct phone: +46 (0)70 856 06 05 Being the 3rd generation of paper merchants, my DNA consists of paper. Due to this reason I started my international career at a cement plant in Senegal in 1975. During 1982 I joined Jan Liebig Ltd in sales in The Middle East and South Asia. To be closer to the markets, I spent 6 months in Teheran, Iran, for Jan Liebig Ltd. In 1995 I established J. Ungerth AB and the rest is history.
