/ OUR PEOPLE / HISTORY
1960
1985
We move to our current location in San Polo di Torrile (PR) and insert transformation lines for integrated production, packaging and automatic handling systems. From this moment we are able to produce corrugated cardboard sheets and transform them into boxes. Sandra becomes a leader in the sector at a national level.
1985
1998
Cart-One is born, the joint venture that allows us to extend our services throughout the Italian territory.
2004
Our business consolidates and, in order to better satisfy the requests, we open a new production pole in Mezzani (PR).
2004
2006
The Italian Cart-One alliance crosses national borders and lands abroad. We form a partnership with three other large and successful foreign companies: Klingele Papierwerke GmbH & Co.KG (Germany), VPK Packaging Group (Belgium), Hinojosa Packaging Solutions (Spain). Today we are part of BBP Partners. This cooperation enables us to meet the demands of customers throughout Europe.

The “Digital Sandra” project is born. We insert in our machine park, next to the already existing flexographic printing machines, the Nasikajet line with very high technological content, specialized in digital printing.
