We hereby invite you to take part in the sixth edition of the Top Applications Awards - the competition dedicated to everyone specifying and using Fedrigoni papers in prestige graphics projects. Guests cpuntry: Korea

The "book publishing" category is dedicated to the memory of Gianfranco Fedrigoni (1905-1991), who gave the family company a modern setting that is still pursued today, thereby positioning it among the leading European paper mills.
