Talk Tissue with Gianni Gambini, Managing Director of North America at Gambini

In this episode of Talk Tissue, Brian Uzcategui speaks with Gianni Gambini, Managing Director of Gambini North America, a leading provider of tissue converting and embossing technologies. 

Gianni shares how Gambini’s systems are designed to support tissue manufacturers worldwide, with a focus on helping customers develop new and distinctive products. Founded in 1870 in Lucca, Italy, Gambini has evolved from making agricultural tools to becoming a global name in the tissue industry since 1989. Today, the company combines cutting-edge technology with strong customer support, including a 24/7 care and spare parts center in Green Bay, Wisconsin. 

During the conversation, Gianni highlights several of Gambini’s key innovations. He recalls the launch of TouchMax in 2012, the first turret-style quick-change system for embossing rolls, which continues to be recognized for its product quality. He also discusses the AirMill wet embossing technology introduced in 2017, a process that uses water and heat to make fibers more malleable, allowing for the sustainable production of high-quality tissue products from conventional paper.  

Another important initiative is the Tissue Hub in Lucca, a dedicated development center where customers can test products on a full-size converting line with support from experts and lab facilities. More recently, Gambini introduced the G1 rewinding technology in 2021, designed for simplicity and versatility across a wide range of tissue products. 

From its history of innovation to its ongoing commitment to customer success, Gambini continues to shape the future of the tissue industry.
