We lead Europe’s paper cord and paper yarn manufacturing with multiple applications in high-end technology processes.

Mimcord’s origins date back to year 1952, at the time under the name of founder Sebastián Rovira Tenas, starting the manufacture of cotton yarn and cord amongst other products.

Our first paper cord was produced in 1958 to meet automobile company SEAT’s needs.

Currently, Mimcord is an SME in the paper and yarn industries, specializing in the manufacture and sales of paper cord and paper yarn.

All our products, paper bag handles, decoration cords or weaving yarns are made from cellulose that comes from sustainable and ecological plantations or from recycled paper.

Over the years, new developments have been carried out, offering ever-evolving products to reach a wide range of applications for the paper sector and for other industries as well.
