CARLUCCI, AN EXCELLENCE BUILT UPON INNOVATION AND PRODUCT IDENTITY Carlucci has been responsible to write the history of pharmaceutical labels and today stands out for its innovative anti-counterfeiting and traceability solutions. For more than 5 decades in business, this company has been able to dominate market changes, thanks to its ability to innovate by being committed to its distinctive skills: brand value, enhancement of human resources, accuracy of production and quality procedures. Fernando Staino Giocondi, Carlucci CEO, in this interview talks about his journey with the label business, which chose OMET as its partner by recently installing two XFlex X6 with screen printing unit.
Carlucci Etichette diversified into special applications such as anti-counterfeiting labels Carlucci Etichette ha investito in nuove applicazioni speciali come le etichette anti-contraffazione Mr. Staino, tell us a bit about how Carlucci company was established? Since 1969, our history is deeply rooted in the territory, when the founder Mario Carlucci started the business by making the best use of the “Cassa del Mezzogiorno” funds. He was a visionary man, able to anticipate the potential of the Italian pharmaceutical industry that grew exponentially in the following years. Carlucci’s vocation for this market, and its high quality standards and procedures in production, come from there. What were the main factors which attributed to Carlucci’s growth, and its most important results? Until 2000s, Carlucci worked almost exclusively in the pharmaceutical sector. At the beginning of this millennium my family entered the company with its great experience in pharmaceutical optical labels and self-adhesive supports with automatic reading codes, still used today on pharmaceutical products and drugs. In this context, the expansion of our business is to be
identified with the product development and the consequent manufacturing of the optical labels on behalf of the IPZS (Istituto Poligrafico e Zecca dello Stato). The industry, which already had formed strong relationships with our company, found a partner ready to support the new market dynamics by respecting the supply standards of the pharma world: procedures, processes, departments like Quality, Assurance and Quality Control are only a few of the factors that made Carlucci one of the most appreciated companies of the sector, operating with absolute excellence. The most recent among Carlucci’s innovations is ability to adapt its processes according to the target market requirements. Today our company, which is diversifying its offer of printing techniques, is able to adapt its management and production processes upon the needs of its customers. Each supply relationship is has its own unique demands and Carlucci perfectly adapts with to these demands with its ability to be flexible in its approach and processes.
