LCS Lavorazione Carte Speciali SPA

What LCS Lavorazione Carte Speciali SPA does

LCS Lavorazione Carte Speciali G.Agnesini S.p.A. is an Italian private flexible packaging converter headquartered in Merate (Lecco), Italy, founded in 1944. The company manufactures custom flexible packaging structures by combining paper, aluminium foil, and plastic films through rotogravure printing (up to 10 colours with in-line lamination), duplex and triplex lamination using solvent, water-based, or wax adhesives, extrusion and co-extrusion coating, wax/paraffin application, embossing, and slitting. Proprietary cold seal technologies branded Selpack™ (paper substrates) and Selpafan™ (film substrates) are positioned for food and medical packaging end-uses, and a 32-head computerised colour-matching station supports production repeatability. A regenerative thermal oxidation plant handles emissions control.

LCS sells directly to manufacturing customers across two primary verticals: Food (powders, sauces, frozen foods, bakery, confectionery, coffee/tea, snacks, dairy, pasta, rice) and Non-Food (pharmaceutical, medical device, cosmetic, chemical, pet food). Revenue is generated via quote-based B2B sales of finished packaging materials priced on specifications, print complexity, and volume, with no public pricing or subscription model. The company holds ISO 9001 (since 1999), FSC Chain of Custody (since 2019), and FSSC 22000 (since 2025) certifications, collectively qualifying it for regulated food-contact and sustainably-sourced paper supply chains.

The operating footprint is concentrated at the Merate production site, with multi-language website presence (Italian, English, French) signalling service to international customers in addition to the domestic Italian market. Share capital stands at €1.8M fully paid, and the company operates as an independent private entity under the S.p.A. (Società per Azioni) corporate form with no disclosed parent, institutional investor, or subsidiary structure.
