Cartotecnica G.Bianchini

What Cartotecnica G.Bianchini does

Cartotecnica G.Bianchini is a privately held, family-owned specialty paper and flexible packaging manufacturer headquartered in Cremona, Italy. Founded in 1955 by Giuseppe Bianchini, the company has remained under family ownership, currently led by the Mori brothers, and operates a single production facility at Via Bredina 2 in Cremona. Its product portfolio centers on gummed paper tapes (Nastri in Carta Gommata) supplied in multiple grades including PG3 for food contact, CH51 and PG5 for waste-bag closure systems, and Kraft Monolucido, alongside multi-layer laminated films (Plurilam and Lamiflex constructions combining paper, aluminum, polyester and polyethylene), monolayer films, and transparent cellophane for overwrapping.

Production is built on rotogravure and flexographic printing combined with both solvent-based (pasteurizable, sterilizable, and chemically aggressive-product formulations) and solvent-less lamination technologies, with a finishing department featuring mono- and bi-shaft rewinders and sheet cutters. The company holds UNI EN 15593 certification for hygiene management in food packaging production and offers FSC-certified material options, and supports an onsite photovoltaic installation active since 2011 providing approximately 100,000 kWh per year of self-generated electricity.

Cartotecnica G.Bianchini serves industrial B2B customers across food, nutraceutical and pharmaceutical, cosmetic, chemical, waste-bag closure and processed-meat sectors in primarily Italian and broader European markets. Revenue is generated through direct quote-based sales of customized products engineered to customer-specific barrier, format and food-contact requirements, with no disclosed subscription, licensing or recurring service component. The company employs between 11 and 50 people and reports no external institutional investors, M&A activity or disclosed funding events.
