Fedrigoni is a large paper manufacturer in Italy founded in 1888 by Giuseppe Antonio Fedrigoni, and one of the leading paper companies in Europe.[1] Fedrigoni owns paper mills in Verona, Arco di Trento, Riva del Garda, Fabriano, and Pioraco. Three companies — Cartiere Miliani Fabriano, Fedrigoni Cartiere, and Fabriano Securities — merged in 2011 to form Fedrigoni S.p.A.[1] In recent years, Fedrigoni has expanded its business in luxury packaging and self-adhesives.[2] The CEO is Marco Nespolo.[3]
Key Information
In 2011, the firm opened the Institute of Paper History Gianfranco Fedrigoni (ISTOCARTA) in Fabriano.[1]
Bain Capital acquired Fedrigoni in April 2018 for €600 million.[4]
In November 2022, Fedrigoni acquired Papeterie Zuber Rieder, a Boussières-based manufacturer of specialty papers for wine and spirits labels.[5] The company announced in August 2023 that it would construct an "Innovation Centre" at its headquarters in Verona.[6]
The company has also donated machinery and equipment to the Paper and Watermark Museum in Fabriano.[1]
Fedrigoni 365
[edit]Fedrigoni is also known for its annually-produced book-style art calendars called Fedrigoni 365, produced since 2018 and featuring work by hundreds of different artists and studios.[7][8]
The first volume, in 2018, was printed entirely on black paper.[9] In 2019, a range of white paper was used.[10] The 2020 edition features a rainbow-like paper spread, "employing the full family of 16 colours from [Fedrigoni's] Woodstock paper range".[11]
Fedrigoni 365/2021 was digitally printed in partnership with Ricoh — each book features a unique, randomised selection of artwork.[12] The 2022 calendar featured four volumes, each printed by a separate company and bound differently, with the fourth volume digitally printed in multiple variations.[13] In 2023, the theme was "love";[14] each book was printed on a unique selection of red and pink papers, and proceeds were donated to the British Heart Foundation.[7]
