Lucart

Lucart is a multinational group that promotes a sustainable way of making paper. This is achieved by adopting a systemic approach designed to optimise the use of raw materials and reduce waste by turning them into new resources. Lucart makes airlaid and MG paper tissue products (paper articles for everyday use, including toilet paper, kitchen paper, napkins, tablecloths, handkerchiefs, etc.). The production activities of the company founded by the Pasquini family in 1953 are organised across three Business Units (Business to Business, Away from Home and Consumer), engaged in the development and sale of products with brands, such as Tenderly, Tutto, Grazie Natural and Smile (Consumer market) and Lucart Professional, Fato, Tenderly Professional, and Velo (Away from Home market). The production capacity is over 396,000 tonnes/year of paper on 12 paper machines. The consolidated turnover is over EUR 550 million and 1,700 people are employed at 10 production plants (5 in Italy, 1 in France, 1 in Hungary, 2 in Spain and 1 in the UK) and a logistics hub. Lucart joined the United Nations Global Compact Network Italy in 2020 and has been awarded a "Platinum" sustainability rating by the independent certification company Ecovadis.
