The progress of a Company over the course of a century

Il mondo di Cerutti - 2019 | 3

The history of Cerutti is that of a Company born out of a small workshop, which has grown into the international Group it is today.

Its history is strongly linked to that of Italy and to the international economic system to which our Country belongs.This section of our Annual Report is dedicated to some of the stages of this story: the progress of Cerutti in a country launched towards modernity, its entry in a booming international scene, its answer to the phenomenon of globalisation with all the great change it brings.

We would like to remember the protagonists of these stages: Giovanni, Luigi and Tere Cerutti who - thanks to the important contribution of all those at Cerutti who worked with dedication and believed in them - created this Company that was able to give Italy an example of world success and an important contribution towards its growth.

The 1920’s:the heritage of the great war

The literary and artistic movement of Futurism offers a radical renewal, in arts as in politics.This renewal is considered an inevitable result of the strength of an industrialization process that the Futurists embraced with great passion.

This contemporary reality forcefully made its way onto the canvases of the Futurists, with its cities growing fast and furiously, bustling crowds, motor cars and trains that became true symbols of the modern age.For the first time industrial modernity became the subject of works of art.


In wartime new technologies are developed.

Charlie Chaplin, in his very famous film “Modern Times” is an icon of industrial progress and the unstoppable effects of the machine and industrialisation.

A second and analogue interpretation of 20th century modernity is represented by the combination of war and technology: not as much for the originality of the connection, which one can also find in the cannons of the sixteenth-century or in the repeating rifles used in the American civil war, as for its extent and propagation typical of the 20th century: a century in which technology has become the predominant force of economic and civil life.


Charlie Chaplin“Modern times”


The blacksmith’s workshop of Giuseppe Cerutti, father of Giovanni, where the founder started his enterprise.


The workshop of Giuseppe Cerutti, father of Giovanni,was the starting point of the founder’s enterprise.

It was back in 1920 when Giovanni Cerutti then thirty years old returned to his hometown of Casale, after working in a factory and then as an engineer in the city of Turin.He served his first apprenticeship at his father’s workshop and later decided to set up his own business, establishing his first enterprise.

From Giovanni’s workshop came a range of products that were very different and high-tech even for those times, above all in the repairing of textile machines, but also in the production of other types of machines, for example wood cutting machinery.


The Second World War proved to be a dramatic experience for the Country, causing extensive damages to the fabric of its cities and industries. At the same time Italy was rejoicing its liberation, it also had to reckon with urgent problems: three quarters of its merchant fleet has been captured or sunk, an agricultural production cut by half; two hundred thousand homeless people in the cities of Turin and Milan and other cities such as Rome, Bologna and Florence reduced to a heap of ruins; an almost unusable railway network and a devastated industrial system.

Nevertheless, for Italy these times also became a challenge and a great opportunity: the 1940’s became the years of reconstruction.

The 1940’s:Italy rises from the war and faces the challenge of reconstruction


The Italian Republic was born on June 2nd, 1946.



Giovanni Cerutti,Officine Meccaniche G. Cerutti founder.

The first rotogravure press manufactured by Cerutti.

Immediately after the Second World War, with the few printing works now under heaps of ruins, intuition lead Giovanni Cerutti to decide that the repairing of textile machines was no longer his future and he threw himself into a great new adventure: rotogravure printing machines.

Confident of his result obtained from repairing a machine damaged by the war, in 1949 Giovanni Cerutti built his first rotogravure printing press, supplied to Prasa of Warsaw, for printing PVC tablecloths.

The 1960’s:a consumer society

After the revolution of the new means of transport and communication, great changes also take place in food consumption: the first packages of pasta and tinned food appeared in the pantries of the Italians and demand increased for chocolates and other types of industrially packed sweets.All products need to be packed, to protect and preserve them in a practical way.Therefore, in this emerging consumer society packaging became increasingly important, also to advertise the brand name and to convince the customer to buy the product.Goods, mass media and advertising are also qualified to enter the art world.The pop art painters focused their attention on common everyday life and on the certain simplicity of the mass culture image. A famous example is the “Campbell’s soup can” by Andy Warhol, 1968.


Luigi Cerutti had a great intuition: “The world will be packed”, that spurred him, at the end of the 1960’s, to start the construction of a new factory in Vercelli, mainly for the production of rotogravure presses to print packaging materials. The enormous development in the packaging of high consumption foodstuffs continues today, confirming the validity of his gamble.Packaging is an important element to sell consumer goods; it is the first approach with the client.In those years, Cerutti presses for packaging printing made important steps in expanding the Company on the markets of Northern Europe (above all in Sweden and Finland), in England, France, The Netherlands, Germany and started the Company’s progress even outside Europe, in the U.S.A., India and South Africa.

This unforgettable image still arouses emotions to this day: on 9th November 1989 thousands of people from Berlin scrambled over the Berlin wall, which up until the previous day had been a boundary dividing not only the actual capital of Germany in half, but also the entire Europe.

That day marks the start of a peaceful revolution, one in which also Pope Giovanni Paolo II played a leading role. The symbol of victory is represented by the image of our dear Pope who, on 22 June 1996, walked side by side with Chancellor Helmut Khol through the Brandenburg Gate.

On that day Pope Giovanni Paolo II delivered a historic speech to Berlin, during which he recalled the suffering caused by the division of Germany and launched an appeal to the German authorities, to the bishops, the people of Berlin and all Europeans “Europe has been called upon to unite in freedom”.

The 1980’s:the fall of the Berlin wall


The challenge set by Cerutti in the daily newspaper printing sector during this decade is called flexographic technology.

The idea was born at the beginning of the 1980’s during a trip to Turkey, a Country that at the time already had daily newspapers with colour pages. During his speech, for the launch of this new technology, at the convention held at Villa d’Este by Lake Como, Dr. Giancarlo Cerutti said: “The whole world is coloured, the world of nature and the one Walter Benjamin called the world of reproducible techniques.I am convinced that people expect to see a coloured newspaper”.


The idea launched at Villa d’Este makes headway, and Cerutti proposes to the market its first flexographic press for newspaper printing using water-based inks to give brilliance to the colours applied on the paper.In 1983, the first flexo press was used to print “Il Tirreno” and, in May 1985, “Il Gazzettino di Venezia” was printed.

However, it was the night of the first printing of “La Repubblica”, 24th September 1985, that legitimised the turning point of this new printing technology: Giancarlo Cerutti and Carlo Caracciolo were the two protagonists.

In 1983 Cerutti signs its first newspaper.

The 2000’s:the third millennium

November 2001: China joins the WTO - World Trade Organisation.Its vigorous growth never ceases to amaze.

January 2002: The Euro entered into circulation replacing the Italian lira and from that day onward, the new money became part of daily life for all people living in Europe.China opening up to the West and the increasing deregulation and flexibility of trade promoted in Europe by the new currency are just two of the important key aspects of the new millennium, a situation that Westerners must address using a responsible and far-sighted policy.



In late Nineties, the Central Bank of Australia, in joint venture with Securency International, decided to print the Country’s banknotes on polymer plastic and, after many trials among several suppliers, choose a Cerutti rotogravure press for the production process. Since then, other Countries followed on its footsteps, like, for instance, New Zeland, Canada, Mexico, Israel, Vietnam, Chile, Indonesia, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Nigeria, Romania, Singapore, Brunei… There is the general opinion that polymer plastic banknotes are the future in the field of security printing: they have a longer life, they are cleaner and more hygienic, more difficult to be damaged and counterfeited. Also other players are due to enter this sector.

Starting from 2016, polymer notes entered into circulation also in United Kingdom: the new five and ten Pound banknotes are printed on Guardian substrate. The press that is the fundamental step in the production of the new English notes is a gravure press 11-colour, and is supplied by Cerutti. The press prepares the anticounterfeiting transparent window, core of the technology for the printing of the new polymer banknotes. Today, 46 Countries all over the world are using polymer plastic banknotes. Cerutti is the main supplier of polymer banknote substrate preparation.

In recent years, Cerutti decides to make a strong activity in the Converting sector, continuing with its strategy of being more and more a global supplier for the packaging material printers and converters.Cerutti Packaging Equipment product line includes now also wax and hot-melt coating machines, solvent and solvent-less laminating equipment - in line and off line - and unsupported alufoil lacquering equipment.A decision awarded by important orders, like, for instance, the triplex laminating machine sold to Goglio Group and the lacquering machine with three lacquering stations sold to Al Invest in Czech Republic.

It often remains in obscurity, but the sector of packaging is everywhere. It permeates the everyday life of all consumers. It is an element of civilisation brought about by good international development, which goes hand in hand with economic growth, making for safer and healthier patterns of behaviour by those who break free of poverty and enjoy wealthier conditions for the first time. It is also a key feature of factory progress in the age of the new globalisation, since machines to manufacture, print, and finish packaging have such innovative drive that they can spread innovations and technologies to several other industrial sectors.

Few people mention it, but the life of contemporary men and women is marked by packaging. In its most diverse and versatile guises, packaging shapes the habits and choices of all of us. When you are at home in the morning, having breakfast with your children, you take a pot of yogurt out of the fridge and slot a capsule of your favourite coffee into the machine. And then, after breakfast, you pop a probiotic tablet out of a plastic blister to help improve the health of your stomach. Well, you don’t know it, but it is packaging that is contributing to a good start of your day. The pervasiveness of the sector is considerable, encompassing food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, as well as toiletries and hygiene products. All the seemingly most ordinary, smallest gestures of people in our contemporary world are characterised by interaction with packaging.

No one thinks about it, but packaging is a fundamental piece in a mosaic made up of production (wrapping and packaging goods), logistics (transporting the goods manufactured and packaged by factories to shops and supermarkets), and marketing (satisfying the needs of consumers through an aesthetic and visual packaging formula increasingly geared towards personalisation). This central role – in both manufacturing and consumption of goods – is not limited to the Western world, since packaging follows the routes of global economic expansion. According to international statistics

All you need is pack.


quoted in a report by the Italian Institute of Packaging, “Imballaggio in cifre 2015”, in 2014 the value of worldwide packaging production was equal to 551 billion Euros. In 2010, the same figure had been 443 billion Euros, which means that over a period of four years – the toughest four years after the start of the economic downturn in 2008 – the turnover of the sector rose by 25 per cent. In particular, Asia now holds the largest market share, corresponding to 31.5 per cent. In 2014, Western Europe and the US had a worldwide market share equal to 22.5% and 26.5% respectively. In 2010, the market share of Asia was already large, at 27%, whereas Western Europe had a 27.5% share and North America had a 26.5% share. Then, Asia – with its huge cities and new markets and consumers – is the latest frontier of the global economy and, hence, of packaging. And yet, the same is happening in Africa and South America. As industrialisation grows and consumption levels increase in both quantity and quality, packaging becomes ever more widespread. The children of Malacca, in Malaysia, drink packaged fresh milk, one of the main factors of food safety in countries emerging from poverty. Argentinean doctors open sealed boxes of medications to treat the elderly in the barrios of Buenos Aires. Businessmen of the new bourgeoisie from Lagos in Nigeria take menthol cigarettes out of their boxes. In the gradual establishment of everyday behaviours and in the definition of economic balances, globally characterised by the tendency to grow and conform to Western standards, packaging – with its multifaceted nature – is ever present.

Hardly anyone suspects it, but factories around the world are heavily affected by the technologies developed in the field of packaging and related sectors. Indeed, packaging and printing machines constantly provide new technologies and innovations which are then transferred to a variety of sectors, such as the automotive industry, construction, interior design, and even finance. The objective is to ensure toughness, elasticity, durability, and reliability. A good example is the technique of overlaying several sheets of a given material and then printing


on it. The automotive industry is one of the sectors which have mostly benefited from this process: car dashboards and certain interior plastic parts are manufactured precisely in this way. Over the last twenty years, the furniture and interior design sectors have been deeply changed by the invention of artificial ceramics and tiles, manufactured with new production methods – by overlaying films and resins – and guaranteeing greater efficiency compared to conventional products. The latest revolution is the introduction of plastic banknotes, which have the advantage of being much sturdier and much more difficult to be counterfeited than the traditional ones with watermark. The key is how the base of the banknotes is prepared. A polypropylene film is provided with an anti-counterfeiting window, characterised by holograms and three-dimensional features, which make the banknotes difficult – very difficult – for forgers to counterfeit. This technique has pushed the technological frontier further and further and has now come full circle, since the radical innovation developed for central banks – full of three-dimensional logos and holograms – can in turn be applied to packaging in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic sectors and even to snacks. In fact, large agro-food industries take advantage of these technological advances on their packaging to offer individually wrapped snacks, able to capture the imagination of individual consumers, guaranteeing the snack’s quality and source.In the 1960s, Luigi Cerutti, the son of the Company founder Giovanni, tried to convince his father to manufacture an increasingly large number of rotogravure printing machines for packaging, by saying: “The whole world will be packaged”. This vision, dating back to more than 50 years ago, has made the history of today, and of tomorrow.
