Direct peers

• Reno de Medici: Italian-listed recycled paperboard producer and converter serving the European folding boxboard market. Directly comparable as a regional Italian paperboard producer supplying converters, although focused more on recycled folding boxboard than corrugated medium.
• GHELFI Ondulati: Italian corrugated cardboard manufacturer with a comparable product offering (corrugated sheets, coupled board) and customer base of converters. A direct regional competitor in the same Italian B2B corrugated semifinished segment.
• Ondulato Pordenone: Italian regional corrugated cardboard producer serving converters and box manufacturers. Comparable in scale, product offering, and customer segment; another regional competitor in the Northern Italian corrugated market.
