New packaging for a historic candy

A leader in flexible packaging, the Gerosa Group offers photo-processing and electronic and laser cylinder incision solutions, with latest generation printing and lamination systems.

The concern’s most outstanding customers include Fida, historic manufacturer of candies like Rossana*, Bonelle, Sanagola, Charms, Gocce, Tenerezze, Gnammy and Irresistibili, for which the Group has recently supplied double bags developed in-house. Putting itself forth as a qualified partner, constantly researching tailor-made solutions, the concern is currently conducting a series of tests for primary candy packaging using twisting film.
The strength of Gerosa’s service is its ability to respond quickly and flexibly to the customer’s needs: its standard presses and in-house cylinder and plate production have enabled it to optimize processes and cycle times, offering maximum guarantees in technique, control, quality and continuity of production.

*Founded by Perugina nearly 100 years ago, the celebrated Rossana brand has recently been acquired by Fida, which has signed an initial acquisition agreement with Nestlé to further strengthen its market position. The concern, based in Castagnole Lanze, currently controls a 3.5% market share of the familiar candy, with a 2015 turnover of some 15 million euros.
