Innovation in packaging and digital printing: FIORINI grows with the acquisition of Tipografia Garofoli

Fiorini Group continues its industrial development path with a new strategic acquisition in the digital printing and packaging solutions sector.
Tipografia Garofoli, a historic Italian printing company founded in 1892, has officially joined the group through an acquisition carried out by ASCAM, a company within the FIORINI Group specialized in high-quality digital printing and the development of customized solutions, including plastic-free applications.
This operation represents another important step in the group’s strategy aimed at strengthening expertise in cartotecnica, industrial printing and innovative packaging technologies.
The integration allows Fiorini further expand its industrial ecosystem by combining complementary skills and consolidating its position in a market undergoing rapid transformation.

A printing heritage spanning more than 130 years
Founded at the end of the 19th century, Tipografia Garofoli represents one of the historic companies in the Italian printing industry.
Throughout its long history, the company has successfully navigated every major technological evolution in printing:
• traditional typography with lead type

This evolution demonstrates an exceptional ability to adapt to the technological transformation of the printing and converting industries.
Joining the FIORINI Group will allow this heritage of expertise to be enhanced within a larger industrial structure focused on technological innovation, industrial production and sustainable packaging solutions.
