IL MONDO DI CERUTTI
Letter of the Chairman and C.E.O.
2016 opens under a cloud of social, political, economic, financial
instability and uncertainty. After many years of financial crisis that
has expanded its influence with different impacts worldwide, the
war that touches many Middle East Areas and the migration flows
that disrupt the social reality of many European Countries, cause
new tensions and negatively affect consumption and investments.
We must also see that the war on oil prices, the drop in demand of
raw materials and the economic slowdown of China, Brazil, Russia,
add depressive elements to the development of international trade.
This scenario makes all investment decisions more problematic and
also affects the two economic sectors in which the Companies of
our Group operate: the ‘packaging printing and converting’ and the
‘magazine, catalogue, newspaper and book printing’. Two realities
that have suffered very different impacts due to the globalization of
economies, lifestyles, migratory phenomena and new technologies.
Both realities are developing and changing rapidly in different ways,
which necessarily influence our strategies.
The packaging world continues to grow; although in many countries
consumer spending does not have a positive trend, packaging remains
a fundamental tool to present and sell products on the market, together
with their preservation and transportation from one country to another.
At the same time, a new trend is gaining more ground in the food
market: the trend of smaller formats, started in the United States, where
reducing calories intake is considered very important. The demand
for smaller products and consequently smaller packaging (classic
examples are the Coke ‘small cans’ and the Magnum ice cream ‘mini
double’) is also emerging in Western countries and involving a wider
range of products: drinks, snacks, chocolates, cookies, preserves
and cold meats. All presented in a colorful, sophisticated package,
with multiple layers of laminated film, foil and paper.
Printed newspapers, magazines, catalogues and books were
negatively affected by the rapid growth of the web, more and more
used as a communication and commercial tool. In this sector,
technology has truly transformed everyone’s life and accelerated
even further the world globalization and real time information of
every new event.

Despite the above, even if paper seems to be on the eve of an
irreversible decline, an international market analysis of the book
sector found that paper books sold during 2015 in the USA alone,
have increased from 559,000 to 571,000 copies whilst the digital
book market fell approximately 20-22%. In this specific sector, the
much-announced overtake of the web over paper, expected in
2015, was in fact not confirmed, but actually subverted. Today, the
confirmed statistical percentage of Americans who use e-readers has
been reduced by half, while Amazon has opened a traditional book
store in Seattle that will become a franchise. Maybe we should ask
ourselves if this trend will touch other print media in the coming years?
With these scenarios in mind, our Group began 2016 with a clear
strategy and better prospective.
Since the previous Drupa, the last 4 years have not been easy for our
Group. The collapse of the demand for newspapers, catalogues and
magazine printing equipment (Cerutti, for many years and still today, is
the only Company in the world producing gravure printing equipment
for magazines and catalogues) has substantially influenced the life
of our Group, forcing us to face a very challenging industrial and
financial restructuring. It has been a tough path, but we achieved our
goal: a complete “turn around”. Equipment for packaging printing and
converting now amounts to more than 90% of our Group turnover.
Under such conditions, our strategy has also changed; focusing
on research and expansion of products related to ‘specialties’ with
higher added value and growth potential (such as security printing,
tipping paper and transfer paper for the fashion industry) and on
converting, which follows the printing operation for every gravure,
flexo or digital technology.
Our 2015 and current 2016 sales show that the market has confidence
in the ability of our Group to again be a leader among the manufacturers
of gravure printing for packaging - as it has always been in the past.
Drupa and K 2016 have always been important in assessing the
technical and market trends occurring in particular historical moments.

However, there are not only difficulties and uncertainties in the
development outlook of many countries, but also some positive notes.
The presence of Africa in the market and the important agreement
between the United States, the EU and Iran will bring new opportunities
for industrial investments in the printing industry.
In-line with the strategy described above, our Group will present
at Drupa and then at ‘K’ our innovations and technical proposals
developed in the past 18 months.
Indeed, we will display printing and converting equipment which are
the exemplification of the motto chosen for these two important events:
“TECHNOLOGY AND CUSTOM-MADE SOLUTIONS, ALWAYS”.
The word “ALWAYS” embodies our history. Since the beginning and
for almost a century, we have served the market with the spirit of a
Company that identifies itself with the Family who founded and still
manages it today.
We manufacture heavy duty equipment which is built to last, and
the market recognizes it. We are innovators in applied solutions
and our technical proposals have anticipated the trends and needs
of our customers.
We believe that each customer may have particular needs for
their strategy; each one is constantly searching for a competitive
advantage in the broad way of printing and converting and needs to
find a supplier who can support him with custom-made solutions.
We highly regard the personal relationships formed with our
customers, knowing this is the key to develop stable and mutually
beneficial partnerships between us.
The passion that has lead us in developing our Company has crossed
our history and still guides our daily actions. We remain faithful to the
motto of our Founder, Giovanni Cerutti: “don’t be afraid to be brave”.

The progress of a Company
over the course of a century
6
|
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.

The blacksmith’s workshop of Giuseppe Cerutti,
father of Giovanni, where the founder started his
enterprise.
12
|
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 1940’s:
Italy rises from the war and faces
the challenge of reconstruction
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 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.
|
19
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.

The 1980’s:
the fall of the Berlin wall
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”.
22

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”.
24
|
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.
In 1983 Cerutti signs its
first newspaper.

of the first Cerutti flexo press
for newspaper printing.
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.

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.
In August, 2014, Innovia Security and Cerutti Packaging Equipment
have reached an agreement for the supply of a new generation
Cerutti gravure press, 11 colour, model R98X, that will be used
in the preparation of Guardian® polymer banknote substrate which
will include the Bank of England’s £5 and £10 notes, due for release
in 2016 and 2017 respectively.
Today, 46 Countries all over the world are using polymer plastic
banknotes. Cerutti is the main supplier of polymer banknote
substrate preparation.

In 2011, 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.

All you need is pack.
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
|
35
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
36
|
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.

24/7 Cerutti Service.
A global supplier has to be available to his customers at any time.
Our 24/7 remote assistance service is our answer to this market
request.
A number of highly qualified specialists in Cerutti are available
24 hours a day, 7 days a week to support customers with Cerutti
presses, allowing them to maximise press up-time.
The 24/7 service has been more recently coupled with a preventive
maintenance/auditing service in order to anticipate potential issues
and eliminate them before they can impair press productivity.
Our 24/7 service has been able to support customers all over the
world spanning from Australia to the Middle East, to Europe, to
Africa and America: the proof that any customer can get benefits
from our service.
Our 24/7 service has grown in the number of customers subscribing
to it and we believe it will grow more and more.
These are the reasons for success of our
initiative:
1.
The prompt reply of our technicians day
and night has been able to minimize press
down-time for fault correction. If spare parts
were necessary to solve the problem, the
on-line access to the supplier network has
allowed our specialists to provide replacements
for the damaged items in the shortest time.
2.
Those who joined the program were allowed
on-line access to the drawings and electronic
manuals of the installed presses and they
were supplied with comprehensive
instructions on how to use manuals to carry
out maintenance in the most efficient way.
3.
The analysis carried out on a continuous
basis by our specialists on the presses
under contract and the relevant information
provided to the end users, has allowed them
to achieve a greater knowledge of press
operation, drive details and controls of their
presses; thus resulting in optimization of
functioning with minimum waste of time.
4.
The electronic equipment used by our 24/7
specialists enables them to monitor the
origin of press stops and fault history of the
presses. This has helped our technicians
to identify the recurrent causes of the faults
and to eliminate improper usage of press
controls by recommending correct electronic
set-ups in order to minimize occurrence of
problems on the press.
5.
Our specialists have prepared a data base of
questions and answers to eliminate possible
press malfunctioning. This tuition activity for
customers enables an exchange of information
aiming to supply them with details of the
latest available technology on the market
and with the possibility of retrofits to improve
machine performance.
So, in few words, the 24/7 service is a way
to improve efficiency, therefore margins.
