1960

Paper machine number twelve, New Maglemølle, is rebuilt and capacity is almost doubled. Coating equipment is built into the machine enabling it to produce new, high-quality grades of printable coated wrapping paper. Plans to relaunch the DfP logo are made. It is put out to competition between six well-known graphic designers. Dalum Papirfabrik's oldest machine from 1885 is closed down.
1970
New Maglemølle and Dalum Papirfabrik introduce a 7-day week. Systematic exports begin via sales offices and agents abroad. Throughout the 70’s and the start of the 80’s, DfP is hit by sharp cost increases, stiff competition from abroad and unsatisfactory results.
1971
Dalum Papirfabrik acquires its seventh paper machine, its biggest to date. The machine produces wood-free, uncoated copy, form and offset paper, base paper for coating, envelope paper and environmental paper. At the same time, two older machines are decommissioned at Dalum Papirfabrik, leaving three paper machines.
The old Maglemølle paper factory is closed down.
1973
As a result of the oil crisis, the power stations move over to coal.
1974
The paper factories consume 40-50,000 tonnes of recycled paper. Dalum Papirfabrik develops a method of producing writing and printing paper in which 50% of the raw materials are composed of straw cellulose and recycled paper from computer printouts and suchlike. DANSK MILJØPAPIR is marketed (50% straw cellulose and recycled paper). The last old paper machine in Dalum is decommissioned.
