![]() ![]() ![]() In the late 80s, only a few companies in Italy packaged bathroom tissue rolls with paper, suppliers to the army for example, but the system had all but disappeared from the large retail channel, HDPE becoming prevalent, and PP for higher-end products like packs of table napkins.įolding paper around the product and achieving precision in wrapping and adherence, all while avoiding waste, was no easy task the cylindrical shape was problematic. This was followed by the entry of Stefano’s sons Marco in 2003 and Jacopo in 2016. Patents, proprietary technical solutions and lines developed ad hoc resulted in high-performing packaging materials, precision, speed and the use of alternative materials, as well as the ability to treat polymer films and paper reels. Both projects developed technologies in compliance with the non-compete agreement until 2007, when CPS took up the tissue business again with the goal of innovating the market. Then in 2003, they founded Eurocap’s along with other entrepreneurs who held the patent and technology of machines that apply protective aluminium capsules on can tops. After selling the minority shares to Korber a few years later, in 2002 they set up CPS Company with activity in areas unrelated to tissue. Founder Paolo Cassoli, along with son Stefano, with the company since 1978, then turned attention to other areas of packaging. ![]() In the mid 90s, the German group Korber acquired the tissue division of Wrapmatic,a competitor of Cassoli, and the majority stake in Cassoli, giving rise to Casmatic (now the name of a line, no longer the company). With just a few moving parts, this ingenious machine did the work of four people, wrapping four rolls of bathroom tissue in one sheet of paper and applyingbands,guarantee seals and labels.” As his grandson Jacopo Cassoli says, “At the Museum of Industrial Heritage in Bologna, you can still see a RA/C1 from1966 in operation. In the 60s, Paolo Cassoli founded a company specialised in handling and packaging bathroom tissue. The systems treat both polymer and cellulose wrapping materials,but to understand thecharacteristics of the lines and the limits of the different types of packaging that can be obtained, some background is necessary. What are the pros and cons of this counter-revolution?ĬPS Company, member of Cassoli Group, produces full lines for the handling and packaging – primary, secondary and tertiary – of toilet paper rolls, tissues, towels, napkins, kitchen towel and hygienic disposables. Who better than a company founded back when flexible packaging was paper can explain its decision 50 years ago to use polymer, and address the challenges of going back to the past. In the global war against plastic, the emergence of alternative, more sustainable materials impacts manufacturers of automatic packaging machines, now faced with the problem of changing materials. ![]()
