As A.Celli Group, a renowned family-owned Italian company based in Lucca, Tuscany, marks its 80th anniversary, it continues to demonstrate unwavering dedication to innovation, quality, and customer service in the nonwoven industry. At the Nonwoven Tech Asia fair, Ervis Gjonaj, Sales Manager of A.Celli Nonwovens, shared insights into the company’s journey, global market presence, and future aspirations.
A Legacy of Excellence:
Founded 80 years ago, A.Celli Group has established itself as a leader in the nonwoven industry, specializing in winding and rewinding solutions. Over the years, the company has expanded its product offerings to include integrated solutions for automation, packaging systems, automated warehousing, and finishing lines, including medical treatment lines. One of their notable projects in India, implemented at Manjushree Spntek, underscores their commitment to delivering high-quality solutions tailored to their clients’ needs.
Global Market Presence:
A.Celli Group’s influence extends across Europe, the United States, and Asia, with a particularly strong presence in China and India. “India is a significant market for us,” Mr. Gjonaj emphasized. The company’s partnerships with major international clients and its focus on the Indian medical hygiene sector highlight its strategic approach to expanding its global footprint. As the Indian middle class grows, so too will the demand for higher quality products—a demand that A.Celli Group is well-equipped to meet with its advanced machinery and technology.
Commitment to Quality and Customer Service:
A.Celli Group’s reputation for quality is built on eight decades of industry experience. The company guarantees the excellence of its final products, ensuring precision from the initial material to the finished cut reels. This level of quality is particularly crucial in the hygiene market, where high-speed operations demand accuracy and reliability. Mr. Gjonaj highlighted the company’s dedication to customer service, noting, “We offer 24-hour support, seven days a week, and our extensive know-how helps customers develop new products and penetrate new markets.”
Strategic Growth and Sustainability:
Looking ahead, A.Celli Group anticipates significant growth in the Indian market, particularly within the medical hygiene sector. Despite the current market saturation due to overcapacity, the company expects demand to rise in the coming years as India’s middle class expands. To bolster its local presence, A.Celli Group has partnered with Reifenhauser India, ensuring immediate support and comprehensive coverage across the country.
In line with global sustainability trends, A.Celli Group has invested in solar panels for its production facilities, achieving near self-sufficiency in power. The company also focuses on supply chain control to meet stringent environmental standards. Through its digital platforms, A.Celli provides solutions for monitoring machine capacity, runtime, and energy consumption, reinforcing its commitment to sustainable practices.
A.Celli Group’s participation in Nonwoven Tech Asia reflects its enduring commitment to innovation, quality, and customer service. With a rich legacy and a forward-thinking approach, the company is poised to continue leading the nonwoven industry while capitalizing on emerging opportunities. “We are here to support the Indian market with our knowledge, technology, and machines,” Mr. Gjonaj concluded, signaling A.Celli Group’s readiness to shape the future of the industry.
