Fedrigoni is a large paper manufacturer in Italy founded in 1888 by Giuseppe Antonio Fedrigoni, and one of the leading paper companies in Europe.[1] Fedrigoni owns paper mills in Verona, Arco di Trento, Riva del Garda, Fabriano, and Pioraco. Three companies — Cartiere Miliani Fabriano, Fedrigoni Cartiere, and Fabriano Securities — merged in 2011 to form Fedrigoni S.p.A.[1] In recent years, Fedrigoni has expanded its business in luxury packaging and self-adhesives.[2] The CEO is Marco Nespolo.[3]

In 2011, the firm opened the Institute of Paper History Gianfranco Fedrigoni (ISTOCARTA) in Fabriano.[1]

Bain Capital acquired Fedrigoni in April 2018 for €600 million.[4]

In November 2022, Fedrigoni acquired Papeterie Zuber Rieder, a Boussières-based manufacturer of specialty papers for wine and spirits labels.[5] The company announced in August 2023 that it would construct an "Innovation Centre" at its headquarters in Verona.[6]

The company has also donated machinery and equipment to the Paper and Watermark Museum in Fabriano.[1]
