Since 1969 we have been producing plastic coatings and laminating films for flexible packaging used in the food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, technical, electrical, and industrial industries.
We are subcontracted by Italy’s primary converting companies and, thanks to our unwavering commitment and constant search for innovative solutions, have been able to keep up with a tumultuous market that is undergoing continuous technological evolution.
We experiment with new materials and adhesives and, thanks to our expertise, machinery, and profound specialization, are able to perform the machining operations required by the customers who rely on us.
We work closely with the research and development teams of many Italian companies and often conduct tests and experiments on new packaging solutions, based on both coating films and lacquering and painting. The food industry accounts for more than half of the total volume of our operations, and for this reason we are ISO 9001: 2015 and BRC PACKAGING certified.
Our production site (measuring 15,500 square meters, approximately 8,000 of which are covered) is located in the industrial district of Calendasco (Piacenza). Our production area includes six coating/laminating machines: 2 “BOBST” solvent-based duplex lines, 1 “NORDMECCANICA” solvent-based triplex line, and 3 “NORDMECCANICA” solvent-less duplex lines. We also have 2 cutters (“DEL MAGLIO” and “BIMEC”) which allow us to provide all possible reel-cutting services.
Both cutters include single and double-sided “FUTEC” inspection machines for detecting defects and impurities. Since January 2019 we have also been providing a rectification service for rubber-coated cylinders. In fact, we purchased an electronically controlled rectifier for rubber and/ or techno-polymer coated sleeves and spools from ROSSINI SpA.
The materials warehouse can store up to 4,000 pallets which can be easily tracked through a sophisticated computer system that guarantees the traceability of all lots.
We have a regenerative thermal purification system for solvents and have always tried to pay close attention to environmental sustainability. The company’s primary objectives are to safeguard the environment and its natural resources and to prevent pollution. For this reason we not only guarantee compliance with all current environmental laws which apply to our activities, but above all pursue the continuous improvement of our environmental performance levels.
LAMINATI CAVANNA was the first European private company to join the “Life Project” in 2001 and to purchase a defibrillator which is available to the Calendasco industrial district.
We have put together a team of volunteers among our employees and our defibrillator (included among those available in the area) is available to the entire industrial district of Calendasco in Ponte Trebbia.
Other social projects are the installation of the “red bench” in the company garden as a symbol of the fight against, and prevention of, violence against women and the planting of an apple tree in the same garden as part of the project for the creation of a widespread forest promoted by the Municipality of Calendasco.
We are also a sponsor of several of Piacenza’s sports clubs (football, volleyball, and basketball) because we want to tangibly support athletics, the region, and the younger generation.
In 2021 we became the first Ambassadors of the Carta Etica Packaging Foundation because we believe in promoting a positive packaging culture by developing skills and specializations in the supply chain, as well as those of the end consumer.
In 2022 we introduced the ambitious project of drafting a Code of Ethics as a manifesto of our actions towards employees, customers, suppliers, and the environment, which in 2023 will be followed by our first Sustainability Report featuring a detailed analysis of data regarding improvements in performance, both obtained and yet to be pursued.
