Innovative Moisture Solutions Since 1964
Levosil is an Italian company specialising in the production of desiccant bags and humidity indicator cards, operating continuously since 1964. Since its foundation, Levosil has produced desiccant bags, with an ongoing commitment to innovation that has made it today one of Europe’s leading manufacturers of moisture-protection solutions for packaging, with entirely Made-in-Italy production and customers worldwide.
Sixty years of experience in moisture protection
Founded in 1964, Levosil has produced desiccant bags from its very beginnings, helping to shape the industry in Italy and across Europe. Production has always taken place at the company’s Italian plant in Chiusa di San Michele (Turin), where numerous production lines are today dedicated to desiccant bags and humidity indicator cards (HIC). Keeping production in Italy allows Levosil to guarantee direct quality control, fast response times and production continuity for all its customers — from a single industrial order to large international supplies.
Continuous innovation and a pharmaceutical pioneer
Innovation is part of Levosil’s DNA. The company was among the first in Europe to begin producing desiccant bags for the pharmaceutical sector and for direct contact — a field that demands the highest standards of quality and traceability. Other key milestones include the development of 100% Cobalt-Free humidity indicators (HIC) and silica gel, patented between 2000 and 2002; the introduction of ESD-Safe desiccant bags in 2004; the launch of pharmaceutical primary-packaging production in 2012 and of a dedicated Micro Bag line in 2015; through to the first 100% compostable, Plastic-Free desiccant bag with an FSC®-certified casing. This development capability also enables Levosil to create tailor-made products, designed to optimise the protection of any type of packaging.
