Our history
Our business developed rapidly over time to become a benchmark for the printing industry, thanks above all to the mutual trust of prestigious Italian and international clients.
Simone, Federico and Emanuele Bandecchi, Paolo’s three sons, have also played a key role in his success and that of Rotolito.
We are a family of skilled and visionary managers, backed by an efficient and highly effective organisation that is well aware that its role depends on people and the planet and on implementing the B Corp principles which we have embraced.

Our brands
Nava Press
For over 100 years, Nava Press has been the go-to company for printed material and special projects in the fashion, architecture, art, beauty, luxury, jewellery and high-end automotive sectors. Nava Press was taken over by the Rotolito Group in 2014, which, however, had the foresight to safeguard its century-old history and positioning, becoming the Group’s flagship company, embodying its vision and values.
Rotolito Romania
Since 2020, the Romanian industrial hub of the Rotolito Group has employed a staff of 250 workers specialised in the printing and binding of hardback illustrated books. Rotolito Romania has always been a reference point for many European publishing houses and continues on its successful path, counting on a steady production capacity founded on the expertise required and acquired in this particular market segment.

In 2019, Rotolito acquired a minority shareholding in Artigrafiche&Diaries of Pognano (BG), adding a production and sales facility with a surface area of 14,000 sqm, and new printing and packaging systems which allow the company to produce over 10 million items annually. The product portfolio is made up of notebooks, sales material, books, calendars, school diaries, and planners for banks, publishing houses, companies and specialised resellers.
