Fabriano Drawing Paper

Fabriano is one of the oldest and most prestigious names in the world of paper manufacturing, with history dating back to 1264 in the town of Fabriano, Italy. The brand is renowned for inventing the modern watermark and utilizing gelatin sizing to make paper more durable. Over centuries, Fabriano products have been used by masters like Michelangelo and Beethoven.

Today, Fabriano operates as a modern leader in the stationery and professional art paper sectors. While deeply rooted in its Italian heritage, the brand has expanded its global reach. Manufacturing still primarily occurs in the Marche region of Italy, where the legacy began, ensuring that the high structural quality and artistic standards are maintained for artists and professionals worldwide.

The brand is currently owned by the Fedrigoni Group, one of Europe's largest manufacturers of specialty papers. In early 2023, BC Partners completed the sale of a significant stake in Fedrigoni to Bain Capital, while retaining some investment, positioning the brand for further global growth. Fabriano continues to be a symbol of Italian excellence in the paper industry.
