Fedrigoni
The Fedrigoni family has a tradition in the paper world since 1717, when the San Colombano paper mill was set up close to the hermitage of the same name in Vallarsa-Rovereto.
The paper mill was sold in 1814 to the Jacob family following the Napoleonic wars.
Giuseppe Antonio Fedrigoni, after a long period dedicated to commerce in paper, began paper production in 1888 in the Verona Paper mill,that was subsequently expanded by his son, Antonio.
From 1931, Gianfranco Fedrigoni, assisted by brothers Renzo and Arrigo, gave new impulse to the development of the company.
The Varone paper mill was taken over in 1938 and the Verona Mill - completely destroyed during the Second World War - was rebuilt in 1945.
The Adamas Paper Mill was set up in South Africa in 1948 (later sold to Sappi in 1964); the Arco Mill was founded in 1963.
The three mills (Verona, Varone and Arco) were merged in 1979 to form Cartiere Fedrigoni & C. S.p.A. Since then, Group development has continued with special emphasis on the "converting" sector, with the creation of Arconvert in 1989 and the take-over of Manter SA (Manipulados del Ter SA) in 1993, on European distribution through the dedicated companies distribution companies in Germany (1987), Spain (1989), France and Great Britain (1993). As from the 1st January 2000: the Fedrigoni Group was re-organised, with the transfer of production and commercial operations to the new Fedrigoni Cartiere S.p.A. and buildings operations to Acquaviva S.r.l., while Cartiere Fedrigoni & C. S.p.A. itself became the Group Holding Company.
At the end of 2001, the Fedrigoni Group was awarded the tender issued by "Istituto Poligrafico e Zecca dello Stato" for the acquisition of "Cartiere Miliani e Fabriano" (heirs to the century-old tradition of Italian paper-making) and its subsidiaries (Cartamano S.r.l., Miliani Immobiliare S.r.l. and S.I.C.M.A. S.r.l.).
As from April 2004, thank to an agreement with "Mantegazza Antonio Arti Grafiche Srl" Fedrigoni Group creates Fabriano Securities which will be active in the area of securities systems with the production of a complete range of products technologically advanced such as holograms security-threads, plastic cards, security prints.
Fedrigoni Asia began operations in April 2006 with head offices in Hong Kong. The company will handle sales of Fedrigoni papers in the Far East and Oceania

M&S Food
Beginning to look at Marks and Spencer brief - focusing on packaging the perfect picnic.
M&S has always been knows for its quality food as well as a strong eco policy. I would consider M&S food to be quite high end and top of the range. Their packaging always reflects the quality of the food as well as the food itself. Think this brief gives you the opportunity to create something that is really innovative and new..
FarmersWe maintain our high quality food range due to the high standards of our farmers. Research has shown us that Marks & Spencer customers want to know more about where their food comes from, and they want closer links to the farmers who produce it.
Fish
We work closely with our suppliers to responsibily source a wide range of wild and farmed fish. We choose each supplier for their outstanding quality, using technologists at all stages of the process to maintain standards, and can trace all fish right back to the boat or farm they came from.
Meat & DairyWe work closely with our suppliers to ensure high standards of animal health and welfare. At Marks & Spencer we can trace all our fresh meat, poultry, milk and eggs to the farms they came from.
Fruit & Veg
We aim to provide fantastic tasting produce all year round by working closely with all our fresh produce growers. Our supplies come from well over 1200 preferred growers around the world, to provide over 400 different varieties, as well as over 500 lines of pre-prepared fruits, salads and vegetables for our customers' convenience.

Packaging is important to make sure our produce reaches you in the best possible condition. We've been working on reducing the packaging we use and increasing the recycled and recyclable content within it.
graze
graze focuses on delivering healthy snacks that are an alternative to snacking on crisps or chocolates. Their main audience is office workers who are able to choose exactly what they would like in the graze box for a fixed price and it is then delivered to their home or work address.
Think that it is quite a interesting concept - and one that is relatively new as they have been running since 2008. They're now looking for a total re brand including altering the existing logo and looking at how the graze box can be made more innovative and appealing.
Above are a selection of different kinds of snacks that are available to choose from from dried fruits to seeds and nuts. The website also focuses on providing general health advice in terms of maintaining a healthy and balanced lifestyle.
Decided to order my free graze box - to check out the packaging..
