Since 1961, Boccia Industria Grafica S.p.A. has operated in the paper printing sector for the European market, in the segments of magazine printing, books, puzzle magazines, sudoku, and large-scale retail distribution (GDO) on behalf of publishers and retail chains.
In the 1990s and 2000s, the company printed all European editions for Weider and for American Media, with magazines such as Muscle & Fitness, Shape, and other widely distributed titles.
The geographic location of Salerno makes Boccia Industria Grafica a strategic hub for the printing and distribution of European editions of American magazine publishers, positioned at the center between Europe and the Mediterranean.
Full control of the entire production chain within the company allows it to achieve particularly high performance for publishing clients, enabling them to recover efficiency in their production processes. Among its rotary presses, the company is one of the few in Europe to operate with a 578 mm cut-off, a distinctive feature that demonstrates the high level of technological specialization achieved.
This year, the company relaunched - returning to its more than sixty-year traditions and to the millenary history of its territory in the paper and printing sector - the first and only fully Made in Italy platform in the world for fine art lithographic printing, PrintlitoArt. This initiative creates a bridge across time between the 12th-century Magistri in Arte Cartarum (the renowned Amalfi paper tradition) and today’s masters of the printing arts.
A dedicated division and independent brand have thus been created, targeting companies, art galleries, museums, artists, hotel chains, and cruise ship builders worldwide. Through PrintlitoArt, a fully Made in Italy product, the mission is to make art and beauty accessible to a broad audience.
Founded in 1961 by Orazio Boccia, Boccia Industria Grafica S.p.A. today represents one of the most established and innovative companies in the Italian and European industrial printing landscape. With over sixty years of experience, the company has successfully combined artisanal tradition with the most advanced technologies, earning a reputation for excellence recognized both nationally and internationally.
Boccia Industria Grafica S.p.A. originated from the vision of Orazio Boccia, who, starting from a small print shop equipped with a semi-automatic pedal press and a few sets of type, dreamed of transforming his passion for printing into a successful industrial enterprise.
In its early years, the company stood out for its meticulous craftsmanship, producing high-quality work primarily for the local market. Over time, Boccia Industria Grafica progressively expanded its expertise and production capacity, introducing technologies such as offset and roto-offset printing and building a modern, highly specialized machinery fleet.
The philosophy of Boccia Industria Grafica S.p.A. is based on clear values: quality, precision, reliability, and innovation. Another fundamental value is its connection to Italian tradition, which the company has always kept alive by passing down skills and techniques from generation to generation.
Membership in the Associazione dei Marchi Storici d’Italia and in Museimpresa, along with the Museo Boccia Industria Grafica, demonstrates the company’s commitment to promoting Italian industrial culture and preserving the historical memory of the printing trade.
Boccia Industria Grafica S.p.A. represents a virtuous example of how tradition, innovation, and Italian values can coexist and thrive in the contemporary context.
From a small print shop in 1961 to a modern and technologically advanced industrial company, Boccia Industria Grafica has evolved without ever losing its connection to its roots, strengthening its reputation on the international stage and reaffirming the importance of passion, professionalism, and innovation that have always distinguished Made in Italy.
