First 40 years of Grafical
The celebrations on 20 September with a printing party
A revolution for Grafical, turned for one day into the setting for the celebrations of its first important milestone, in 2024. An occasion to honour a passion for printing and a love of art, the “Siamo Forty” printing party is a colourful, one-of-a-kind event, packed with surprises. The heart of the event is a very special workshop in which printing is the star of the soirée, showcasing the finest technologies for the creation of unique products in real time. This is a celebration of a love for printing that at Garafical comes before everything else.
The printing party. Centre stage, as in all the best reality shows, are four agencies specialising in packaging design for wine&spirits, called upon to create a celebratory label for a Bitter with a design that illustrates anecdotes from the history of Grafical. This opportunity to celebrate creativity, present projects and watch the labels come to life with the printing process that is the star feature of the evening offers a live experience in which design meets passion: all for the love of printing!
History looks to the future
It’s exactly 40 years since Andrea, the eldest of the four Lonardi brothers, took the decision to leave his old job to found Grafical along with Flavio, Mario and Elio. Today that “simple dream” has become something great. Since 1984, Grafical has made a name for itself in the printing sector for its dedication to quality and innovation.
Rising turnover. In the last ten years, the company has grown exponentially, with a turnover of around €18 million, accompanied by continual investment, ranging from €500,000 to €1,500,000 a year in new equipment and human resources. This may be what has made Grafical what it is today, with the aim of improving all the time and investing in technology, and above all people.
