Favini achieves an important milestone: 120 years since the Favini family took over the paper mill at Rossano Veneto and the family name became a brand.

Already active in the paper industry in Maslianico, Lombardy, the family, led by Attilio Favini, acquired the paper mill in Rossano Veneto in 1906, which is now the headquarters of Favini Srl.

Following Attilio’s death, management passed to his wife Emilia, who played a central role in ensuring the company’s continuity alongside her son Luigi. During this phase, the management structure was strengthened with external expertise: Manager Magnani arrived from Bologna, overseeing a period of consolidation and development that spanned the wars until 1950.

Subsequently, Attilio and Emilia’s other son, Andrea, joined the company; after serving as a colonel in the Royal Air Force, he contributed to the paper mill’s subsequent industrial expansion phase.

From this point onwards, the more recent history has been reconstructed through the testimonies of those who have worked at the company over the years.
