Italpaper was founded in 1987 by Raffaello Bocci, who will continue as Managing Director after the transaction is completed. Under Mr. Bocci’s leadership Italpaper has become one of the leading suppliers of pulp and recovered fiber to the Italian paper-making industry. “Raffaello Bocci has developed a dynamic and growing business,” said Ken Wallach, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Central National-Gottesman Inc. “This new partnership is part of our long-term strategy to expand our sales and sourcing activities in Europe. We look forward to merging our Italian subsidiary, Central National Italia, with Italpaper and building on the combined strengths of both organizations.”
