LIVORNO, Italy - TelAve -- Favillini, historic Leghorn-based paper manufacturer founded in 1886, focused on the production of secondary packaging for the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industry (cartons and leaflets), has completed the acquisition of 100% of Interpack S.p.A. based in Pomezia (Rome), operating in the same market segment and controlled by Oxy Capital through Gpack S.p.A.

From 2020, following the entry of Arcadia SGR into the shareholding structure, Favillini undertook a process of growth both organically, with major investments in technology and production capacity, and by external lines, consolidating the fragmented Italian pharmaceutical and nutraceutical secondary packaging market. With its first add-on, Ideagrafica, a company based in Liscate, in the Milan area, the group expanded its geographic coverage in northern Italy, entering the nutraceutical sector and broadening its commercial offer with the addition of information pamphlets to the folding carton boxes.

With the acquisition of the Lazio company Interpack, Favillini now completes its strategic coverage of the Italian market with the presidium of the third Italian pharmaceutical district, after Lombardy and Tuscany, becoming the leading operator in Italy in the production of secondary packaging for the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical sectors. With approximately 850 million pieces produced, the group will reach a consolidated turnover of over 45 million Euro in 2025, developed in three production plants with a total surface area of over 20,000 square metres and over 200 employees.
