Cartiere del Garda immediately adopted a modern and forward looking approach, and its consistent growth led to its acquisition, in 1971, by Germany’s Bertelsmann publishing group, which had a notably positive effect on its position as a manufacturer of coated paper.
At the end of 1997, Cartiere del Garda left the Bertelsmann multimedia Group and became the focus of the Lecta Group. Through the acquisitions of Condat and Torraspapel, Lecta has developed into an international paper manufacturer ranking second largest in Europe for production of coated woodfree paper.
