25 years of BIOPAP®: the future grows from commitment and vision.
Some anniversaries measure time. Others reveal the meaning of a journey.
To celebrate BIOPAP®’s first 25 years, we chose the places we live every day: the finished-goods warehouse, the Plant 3 production department, the spaces where ideas, work and relationships become a company. For one evening, they became places of memory, encounter, music and celebration.
The Mayor of Settimo Milanese, Fabio Rubagotti, and Deputy Mayor Sara Santagostino opened the celebration by reminding us that a company also belongs to the community in which it grows. Their message of respect and openness placed human relationships and mutual support between institutions, businesses and the community at the heart of the evening.
For our 25th anniversary, we did not simply want to tell the story of BIOPAP®. We wanted to celebrate the spirit of family businesses.
We did so through three stories: our own, Novacart’s as it celebrates one hundred years in business, and that of Orsolani, a winery from Canavese with more than a century of history.
Different experiences, united by the same strength: innovating without forgetting one’s roots, investing continuously in research and quality, sharing responsibilities and achievements, and seeing every employee as part of the company’s extended family.
At the heart of everything, we found two simple and decisive words: trust and loyalty.
With deep emotion, we honoured the founding shareholders Giuseppe Anderlini, Maria Teresa Brassiolo, Filippo Rossi and Michelangelo Anderlini, as well as Novacart, represented by Giorgio and Alessandro Anghileri, for believing in the BIOPAP® project.
When Leonardo Anderlini accepted the award in memory of his grandfather Giuseppe, past and future came together. In that gesture, we recognised the truest meaning of continuity between generations.
We expressed the same gratitude to the employees honoured for their long-standing service: Maria Teresa Panceri, Giovanna Mastromonaco, Marco Silvestri, Carlo Arezzo, Roberto Nichetti, Salvatore Ciatto, Marco Di Lorenzo, Rodolfo Barba, Gianluca Laferrara e Luciano D’Errico. A company’s achievements always bear the faces, expertise and dedication of its people.
Then came the dinner prepared with love by Ferruccio, the wines from Orsolani, the cake and the music. Finally, we all danced late into the night, united by the same energy and by the awareness that we belong to the same story.
Twenty-five years of passion, courage, innovation and visionary sustainability, begun before sustainability became part of our everyday language.
Love grows when we learn to say thank you. Every moment lived fully is a gift, and every new day is an opportunity to improve, dream and give our best.
Thank you all for these first 25 years, and for the next 25.
