What Fiordo does

Fiordo S.r.l. is an Italian graphic arts company founded in 1998 and headquartered in Romentino, province of Novara. The company operates four interconnected service lines: offset printing (5-color and 10-color web-fed lines with UV drying and inkjet variable data), digital printing (sheet-fed and web-fed machines with laser finishing and UV inkjet for 3D plastics), direct mailing (campaign production with variable data management and postal distribution certified by Poste Italiane and La Poste France), and cartotecnica (paper transformation, including secure return envelopes for opticians, checkout drawer envelopes for large-scale retail, laminated cards, and anti-counterfeiting solutions using holograms and special inks). A complementary line of patented proprietary products targets the ophthalmic sector and specialty envelopes.

The business runs on a B2B sales-led motion with quote-based pricing requiring an Italian P.IVA (business tax ID), targeting Italian and French enterprise customers in defined verticals — primarily ophthalmic/optician businesses, large-scale retail (GDO), and companies requiring GDPR-compliant direct mail campaigns. Marketing is supported by a multilingual website (Italian, English, French) and social presence on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram. The company holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, FSC, PEFC certifications and an EcoVadis Silver Medal, alongside a 199.41 kWp photovoltaic installation (578 panels) that has generated 825,000 kWh and saved 540 tons of CO2 between 2021 and 2024. Revenue is not publicly disclosed and there are no known funding rounds, M&A activity, or external institutional investors — the firm appears founder/owner-operated.
