Paper producers for more than a century
Cartiera Confalone boasts a long tradition of high quality paper production on the Amalfi Coast.
Its history began in 1800, when a paper mill for the production of handmade paper was founded in Maiori, which would help the area become famous for the production of excellent paper along with other paper mills located around Amalfi, particularly in the Valle dei Mulini and along the course of the Canneto stream.
Over the last century, the development of Cartiera Confalone went through the production of flattened paper and crepe paper until its conversion to tissue paper in the 1960s.
Cartiera Confalone is a solid family business that looks to the future with confidence and to the development of quality products aimed at the consumer and professional sector.
Cartiera Confalone offers a wide selection of products which stand out for the selected raw materials, only virgin cellulose fibers, and the ability to preside over the entire market.
Toilet paper, kitchen towels, napkins and reels of different sizes to meet the needs of consumers looking for good quality products for daily use.
Cartiera Confalone’s products are distributed in Italy, Germany, Eastern European countries and the Mediterranean area.

Paper Mill
Cartiera Confalone improved its production capacity with the implementation of a new paper mill machine Toscotec AHEAD 2.2. A strategic investment that significantly raised the level of technology in Southern Italy for tissue production.
This paper mill machine is among the most advanced for tissue paper production thanks to its operational and manufacturing efficiency; it features innovative technologies that ensure improvements in the sustainability of the process and guarantee the achievement of premium quality while preserving the consistency and softness of the finished product.
The new paper mill machine is dedicated to the production of jumbo rolls intended for conversion into toilet paper, kitchen rolls and napkins.
Thanks to this new asset, Cartiera Confalone achieves an improvement in energy efficiency with a trigeneration plant for the joint production of electricity, heat and cooling and a gas hood plant with energy recovery, and also records lower consumption of fresh water due to the improved efficiency of process machines and a reduction in atmospheric emissions at every stage of production.
Converting
Integrated and automated production chain.
The converting process of jumbo rolls is carried out through technologically advanced lines that guarantee the excellent quality of the finished product. Cartiera Confalone has converting lines for the production of rolls (double-height toilet paper, kitchen rolls and industrial reels made with DESL and point-to-point) and one-ply, two-ply and two-ply point-to-point napkins.
The converting cycle in each step preserves the technical specifications of the paper, improves its performance with embossing and enhances the beauty of the roll with perfect cutting and winding.
In order to further increase its ability to develop innovative products for the market and optimize production times, Cartiera Confalone has recently introduced a new roll converting line that will feature a state-of-the-art flexible embosser with automatic roll change without machine downtime and a 4-colour printing system.

Pallet handling with robots also results in a reduced risk of package breakage, improved product hygiene and protects the safety of operators as the correct functioning of the machines is managed remotely.
