Sacchital Group specializes in paper-based flexible packaging and has been active in the sector for more than eight decades. The group reports annual revenue of $164.4 million, with around half generated from exports to markets includ- ing Europe, the United States and North Africa. It employs 400 staff across five production sites, with the Sacchital operation in Pregnana Milanese described as the original and core plant. Total group output capacity is 600 million square me- tres, produced across facilities covering 350,000 square meters.
