to GROW
respecting
the environment
The development policies adopted by our Group, are based on the firm belief that the
entrepreneurial activity can not disregard sound ethical and moral principles:
a company, in order to qualify itself as ethically responsible, must follow production
models that respect and safeguard human rights, the regeneration capacities
of the Earth and the well-being of the community, so as to promote a fair and
sustainable development with regards to social and environmental aspects.
For this reason all Group employees have always been requested to have a moral,
correct, impartial and respectful behaviour. We are convinced that only by respecting
such principles in our everyday activity, it is possible to build solid foundations
we pursue
to guarantee a sound and long-lasting growth.
sustainable development
Lucart Group has a history that goes back to the 30’s when the Pasquini family decided to
set up a paper production factory in Villa Basilica (Lucca - Italy).
At the beginning, production was mainly focused on one-side glazed paper for flexible
packaging, table-covers and placemats. Subsequently, at the end of the 80’s, the Group
diversified its activity entering also the tissue market (kitchen rolls, hand towels, wipers,
toilet paper, napkins, etc.).
