A long-standing symbol of innovation and social commitment, Panini has decided to take the field in support of women in sports by announcing its partnership with the "Fenici", a women’s rugby team.

This initiative represents a significant step in breaking down gender stereotypes in a sport often perceived as “male-dominated,” demonstrating that rugby is a space for inclusion, strength, and determination for all.

A Company Rooted in Innovation and Community Commitment

Founded in Turin in 1945, Panini has established itself as a global leader in payment processing and check scanning technology, with the largest installed base of document processing systems worldwide.

Panini provides reliable and ergonomic solutions designed to help institutions and businesses across various industries securely manage valuable information and prevent fraud.

In recent years, the company has expanded its focus to Secure Identity solutions, leveraging its expertise in imaging and deep knowledge of KYC (Know Your Customer) processes.

However, Panini is not only about the international market. The company’s commitment extends to local communities as well. It has always promoted volunteer projects and initiatives aimed at making a difference both socially and culturally.

In 2024, Panini actively contributed to supporting the social enterprise I Bambini delle Fate and the Turin-based social cooperative f.i.ABA. This commitment materialized through a project that directly involved employees, giving them the opportunity to participate firsthand in the cooperative’s volunteer activities.

Additionally, Panini supported the WomenXImpact project, which focuses on female empowerment by helping women advance in their careers. It is precisely within this framework that the collaboration with the Fenici fits—a team that embodies the values of resilience, teamwork, and inclusivity.

Supporting the Fenici: A Step Toward Inclusion

Rugby is often perceived as a male-dominated sport, but the growth of women’s rugby in recent years has shown that this stereotype is not as deeply rooted as it once seemed. The "Fenici", with their passion and determination, are a symbol of female empowerment in the sports world.

Panini’s decision to support them sends a strong message: talent and dedication have no gender.

Through this partnership, Panini is not only providing financial support to the team but also helping to increase visibility for women’s rugby, breaking cultural barriers and enhancing the role of women in sports. This initiative aligns perfectly with the company’s values, which for 80 years have been focused on modern innovation—not just technological, but also social.

A Commitment to the Future

By supporting the Fenici, Panini demonstrates that a company can play a key role in driving inclusive and equal change. Rugby is a sport built on determination, teamwork, and courage.

This collaboration marks the beginning of a journey that unites sports, innovation, and social responsibility, with the goal of inspiring others to follow the same path.

Because change is built together, as a team—just like in rugby.
