Porcari (Lucca), Italy, July 08 2026<\/em> \u2013 The Italian Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy has issued a commemorative stamp as part of its thematic series, \u201cThe Excellences of the Productive System and Made in Italy,\u201d dedicated to Sofidel<\/strong>, one of the world\u2019s leading manufacturers of paper for hygienic and household use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This prestigious recognition celebrates the 60th anniversary of the company\u2019s founding<\/strong>. Established in 1966 by Emi Stefani and Giuseppe Lazzareschi in Porcari, in the province of Lucca \u2013 an area renowned for its expertise and long-standing industrial tradition in papermaking \u2013 Sofidel has grown into one of the world’s leading manufacturers of tissue paper products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Group has made sustainability a strategic driver of growth<\/strong>, with a commitment reflected throughout its value chain, from responsible forest management to improved energy and water efficiency at its facilities, as well as the continuous reduction of its carbon footprint. Today, Sofidel operates in 12 European countries and 12 US states<\/strong>, employs more than 9,500 people<\/strong>, and remains firmly rooted in Italy and in the Lucca paper district, one of the largest paper manufacturing hubs in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Printed by the Italian State Printing Office and Mint (Istituto Poligrafico e Zecca dello Stato), the stamp features one of the Group\u2019s main Italian facilities<\/strong>: the Soffass Via Fossanuova converting plant in Porcari, where Regina, Sofidel\u2019s best-known brand, is produced.<\/strong> Regina has become part of Italian popular culture thanks to its famous slogan, \u201cRotoloni Regina: they never end!<\/em>\u201d. The upper part of the stamp displays the Sofidel logo together with the company\u2019s founding year, 1966.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The stamp was officially unveiled yesterday in Rome at the headquarters of the Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy <\/strong>during an event introducing several stamps dedicated to outstanding examples of Italian manufacturing excellence, attended by Minister Adolfo Urso.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith these stamp issues, we recognize companies that embody the quality, manufacturing expertise, and strength of Made in Italy around the world. These are different industrial stories, yet they share common characteristics: a deep connection to their territories, continuity of tradition, and the ability to innovate. The philatelic program serves this purpose as well: to tell the story of the nation\u2019s industrial identity and preserve in our collective memory the excellence that has contributed to Italy\u2019s growth,\u201d <\/em>said Minister Adolfo Urso<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe view the issuance of this stamp as recognition of a growth journey that has successfully combined local roots with a global outlook, and tradition with innovation,\u201d <\/em>said Luigi Lazzareschi, Chief Executive Officer of the Sofidel Group. <\/strong>\u201cOur Group, still led by the families that founded it 60 years ago and with the third generation already active in the business, looks to the future with the same confidence and determination that have guided us since day one. We remain committed to fostering responsible, long-term industrial growth while respecting both people and the environment\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paola Stefani, Chair of Sofidel, added: <\/strong>\u201cThis stamp celebrates an industrial group, but above all it honors talent, dedication, and passion of all the people who have contributed \u2013 and continue to contribute \u2013 to Sofidel’s story every day, including everyone throughout our value chain. It is a tribute to the value of Made in Italy and to the ability to innovate, compete, and create value on a global scale.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n
