COMO, Italy — Fidertessile, based in Agliana, Italy is holding its own compared to many mills in Italy according to Letizia Colligiani during Proposte.

The 30 person company is run by a third generation of family Board Members who are all women and proud of it! Fidertessile was founded by grandfather  Pinzi  in 1960. His grand-daughter Serena is now a Board Member along with her cousins Valentina and Giovanna.

Fidertessile unveiled burnout prints on linen grounds for upholstery in one to two piece minimums. The mill works with piece dyed and yarn dyed fabrics with printed yarns. Over 60 percent of the business is in export in the eight-30 Euro range. Fidertessile features viscose, cotton and wool yarns, mostly novelty yarns designed in house but spun with outside suppliers.

The mill does contract as well as residential constructions.     Andre Schneider, sales manager; Giovanna Colligiani, Board Member; Letizia Colligiani, Board Member and daughter of Giovanna and cousin to Serena Pinzi, Board Member; Valentina Colligani-(not shown here due to being a new mother)
