Founded in 1986, Parmon quickly established itself as a key player in the absorbent hygiene products industry with a focus on innovation, product quality and personal care. Its mission is to develop high-quality solutions that enhance daily well-being, with particular attention to dermatological safety and environmental sustainability.

Parmon was established as part of an investment holding owned by the Fronterrè family. Its entry into the absorbent hygiene market was the result of a strategic evaluation of business opportunities rather than personal motivations. According to the company, the decision was guided by an analysis of sustainable growth potential and the opportunity to offer competitive, high-quality solutions within a rapidly expanding market.

In 2003, the company inaugurated a state-of-the-art facility in Belpasso, Catania, Italy, covering approximately 22,000 square meters and equipped with eight production lines dedicated to manufacturing baby diapers and feminine hygiene products. In 2010, the company upgraded its technology to better meet growing market demands in both quality and volume.

Parmon’s product portfolio includes a wide range of absorbent hygiene solutions, including baby diapers in all available market sizes, cellulose sanitary pads, ultra-thin sanitary pads and pantyliners. “Innovation is a core pillar for Parmon, particularly in our baby diaper line, where we continuously adapt to market trends,” says Sergio Fronterrè, CEO and founder of Parmon.

In addition to its own branded products, including Napper baby diapers, the private label segment is a strategic area for Parmon. According to the company, its private label products are experiencing strong growth in key markets, driven by ongoing quality improvements and the increasing focus by large retail chains on expanding and enhancing their private label offerings.

To support growth and meet evolving consumer needs, the company recently enhanced its production capabilities to further improve the performance and comfort of its diapers. Additionally, it is investing in the development of skin-friendly diapers designed to ensure not only high absorbency but also to support skin health. “These innovations address common dermatological concerns, providing real added value to our customers,” Fronterrè adds.

This year, Parmon launched an ambitious three-year development plan aimed at expanding and upgrading its production capabilities. The project includes increasing production in the feminine hygiene segment and entering the market for light and heavy incontinence products.

Over the past three years, Parmon has also invested significantly in research and development, with the goal of creating absorbent solutions focused on well-being. The new products are designed not only to ensure high absorbency performance but also to promote skin health, addressing issues related to prolonged use of absorbent devices. “This approach confirms Parmon’s commitment to being an innovative and responsible partner in personal care, anticipating new market trends,” Fronterrè says.

Currently, Parmon distributes its absorbent hygiene solutions across most of Western Europe. Its strategic vision includes gradual expansion into neighboring markets, with a particular focus on Eastern Europe in the near future. According to Fronterrè, this geographic growth aligns with Parmon’s goal of strengthening its international presence and offering comprehensive service to customers across Europe.

“Our objective is to stand out in the market by offering absorbent solutions that prioritize comfort, well-being and skin health,” says Fronterrè. “Parmon aims to lead the sector by combining high functional performance with tangible dermatological benefits, supported by the continuous results of our research and development investments.”
