Sofidel, a Lucchese firm renowned for the Carta Regina brand, accelerates penetration in the United States, providing considerable delight to the Lazzareschi and Stefani families' tissue sector. Sofidel relaunches with an investment of 185 million dollars to increase the production capacity of the Circleville plant by 50%, bringing it to over 200 thousand tons and making the pole in Ohio the first of the Tuscan group, which is also present in 12 European countries with a total production capacity of 1.44 million tons and 6,500 employees. If in 2022 Sofidel achieved 26.7% of the group's 2.8-billion-euro consolidated turnover in the United States, the group's largest market, the proportion will increase this year. "By 2023, we hope to have raised 950 million dollars in the US, bringing the US share to nearly 30% of the global business," says Luigi Lazzareschi, CEO and shareholder. The United States ranks top in the world in terms of per capita usage of paper for sanitary and domestic purposes.
