Österreichische Kuvertindustrie

What Österreichische Kuvertindustrie does

Österreichische Kuvertindustrie GmbH (ÖKI) is an Austrian envelope and shipping-bag manufacturer founded in 1857 and headquartered in Hirm, Burgenland. It operates the only envelope production facility in Austria, running a modern, high-performance machine fleet and an in-house printing press across a three-shift production model with over 70 employees. The company serves industry, office, and specialist trade customers exclusively in Austria through a B2B direct sales motion, with no public e-commerce storefront and a catalog- and quote-driven ordering process.

ÖKI sells a portfolio of seven branded lines — ÖKI Classic (standard/reliable), ÖKI Natur (sustainability-certified), ÖKI Pro (speed), ÖKI Prime (premium), ÖKI Spezial (special formats), ÖKI Verpackung (packaging solutions), and ÖKI Individual (custom/bespoke) — supported by an online product finder and in-house custom printing on finished envelopes. Revenue is generated through one-time product sales of stock items (a 300-article Lagersortiment deliverable within 24 hours across Austria) plus custom and special-make solutions and in-house printing services. The company is a registered federal procurement partner via Bundesbeschaffung Austria, giving it access to public-sector tendering.

The business is differentiated less by technological depth than by domestic-origin positioning, sustainability certifications (FSC, PEFC, Blauer Engel, Austrian Umweltzeichen, Gütezeichen Austria), and the speed advantage of being the only domestic producer. Pricing is opaque and quote-based; there is no disclosed revenue, no external funding, and no public valuation. ÖKI is privately held as a GmbH with no parent company or subsidiaries identified.
