The story

Fabio Perini and the Company rising
Fabio Perini started his activity in 1960, when he invented a machinery for the automatic cut of tissue paper.
In 1966, he found a company, called Fabio Perini, which prior focus was designing new engineering technologies and manufacturing industrial machinery for the tissue converting industry.
With the change and the improvement of lifestyles, the Italian tissue industry raised noticeably during the 1960s.
This fact favored Fabio Perini's company, which grew up until 1973, when the company was turned into a Società per Azioni, becoming the Fabio Perini S.p.A..
Fabio Perini S.p.A.
Under the new form of Società per Azioni, Fabio Perini S.p.A. initiated an international expansion. In the 1970s new offices were opened in Europe and America: two selling offices in Europe (Paris, 1974; Düsseldorf, 1976), one selling office in the United States (Green Bay, Wisconsin, 1978, at the Green Bay Engineering Company) and one manufacturing plant in Latin America (Joinville, Brazil, 1975).
During the '1980s and the '1990s further branches were opened in Asia (Yokohama, 1984; Hong Kong, 1985; Fuji, 1991), Europe (London, 1984) and United States (Miami, 1990).
Over the course of around 20 years, the company Fabio Perini became a multinational enterprise that served 75% of the worldwide market of the paper making industry and the tissue converting machinery.
As acknowledgement of his entrepreneurship, in 1991 the founder Fabio Perini was ordered Knight of the Italian Republic, under the Order of Merit for Labour.
