Paperdi

What Paperdi does

Paperdi S.r.l. is an Italian industrial paper products manufacturer founded in 1989 and headquartered in Napoli, operating as a privately held Società a responsabilità limitata (S.r.l.). The company manufactures professional-grade tissue paper and related hygiene consumables — industrial coils, hand towels (C-fold, Z-fold, V-fold), toilet paper, napkins, examination sheets, and cosmetic tissue — distributed through a multi-brand portfolio that includes PAPERBLU, ECOGREEN, ECOGREEN PLUS, FAST DISSOLUTION, AVANECO, BAMBU' (bamboo-based), and the Soavex Professional touchless dispenser system with associated refills.

Production is anchored by two manufacturing facilities in Campania: the San Nicola la Strada converting plant and the Pietramelara paper mill, which is the subject of an authorized PM4 expansion to install a second paper production line following PAUR approval from the Campania Region in July 2024. The Soavex Professional and dual dispenser hardware lines (Linea Ecoverde and Linea Azzurra) extend the offering beyond paper into washroom hardware and consumables, supporting a dispenser-plus-refill recurring revenue motion.

Paperdi sells exclusively into B2B professional channels, with named segmentation across Industry, HORECA, Bathroom, and Medical/Aesthetics verticals. Distribution is through a direct sales organization ([email protected]) and an own e-commerce storefront at paperdi.it/shop, complemented by participation in industry trade fairs. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quote-based. The company also publishes sustainability reports and holds certifications, reflecting its positioning around eco-friendly product lines.

Broad incumbents

• Georgia-Pacific Professional: Major North American/global producer of paper-based professional hygiene products including towels, tissue, napkins, and dispensers (enMotion, Compact, Brawny Professional). Comparable in product categories and B2B professional channel focus, though with a broader geographic footprint.
• Kimberly-Clark Professional: Division of Kimberly-Clark offering professional hygiene products (Scott, Kleenex, WypAll brands) including paper towels, toilet paper, and dispenser systems. Overlaps directly with Paperdi's professional hygiene portfolio but operates globally with substantially greater scale and brand recognition.
• Essity (Tork): Global hygiene and health company whose Tork brand is the leading professional hygiene paper and dispenser system worldwide. Highly comparable in the Soavex Professional-style managed dispenser + consumables model, but operating at vastly greater global scale and across broader hygiene categories.

• Sofidel: Italian-headquartered global tissue paper manufacturer (Regina, Nicky brands) producing tissue, towel, and napkin products for both consumer and professional/HORECA markets. Directly comparable in product mix (tissue, towels, napkins) and Italian manufacturing footprint, though materially larger in scale.
