With the slogan "Paper as a Sustainable Story", we will present our range of premium coated and uncoated papers especially designed for the publishing industry.

Since this year Italy is the event's guest of honor, Lecta will showcase the excellence of the products it manufactures at its Cartiere del Garda mill, a cornerstone of the company's complete offering for the publishing sector.

They will discuss the latest trends in the publishing market and Italy's leadership in the sector. Friday 10/18, 10.30 am | AIE Group Stand - Area 2

Book presentation: As a special event at its own stand, Lecta will present Our Odyssey, the first anthology commemorating ten years of artistic and creative development by the internationally acclaimed artistic duo PichiAvo. From large-scale mural productions to exhibitions, the book features more than 300 works printed on matt paper produced by Cartiere del Garda. From Wednesday 10/16 to Friday 10/18 | Lecta Stand – Hall 3.1, Stand H103

Cocktail reception: And to round off the proceedings, Lecta will organize a cocktail reception to celebrate the presence of the company and its Garda papers in the prestigious Italian publishing world. The event will bring together partners, authors and publishers from across the world. Thursday 10/17, from 6 pm | Lecta Stand – Hall 3.1, Stand H103

As Alessandro Nardelli points out, this is a special year for Lecta: “We're extremely proud to be taking part in the Frankfurt Book Fair again. Italy is a country with a long tradition in the paper industry, and we're delighted to contribute to its success. The papers we manufacture at the Cartiere del Garda mill offer the perfect canvas for bringing to life exciting stories and journeys. Made using natural and renewable raw materials, they reflect Lecta's commitment to sustainability and its ongoing search for environment-friendly paper.”
