The company
REGGIANI S.p.A.
An innovating company, leader since 1973 in the production of high quality elastic fabrics, has always been on the cutting edge and oriented to trend design where a sophisticated technology joins craftsmanship creativity.
1973
Attilio Reggiani started the activity of entrepreneur and created his first company:
MANIFATTURA TESSILE REGGIANI.
The important intuition of tying the elastomer to traditional fibres helped the development and design of elastic shuttle fabrics containing the Lycra innovative element.
Initially the production of fabrics is exclusively for the sports technical sector that requires higher performances and adaptation to the body.
1976
The activity developed and the production, which up to that moment was limited to the sports sector, diversified becoming all the more important.
The first plant with the weaving department of the Biella-Chiavazza area was set up.
´80s
Reggiani is far-sighted.
He thinks of a dynamic woman, constantly on the move in town, between the family and the work agenda, with the need of wearing versatile and functional fabrics without neglecting elegance, which is basic for the Reggiani philosophy.
The stretch trend, totally made in Italy was extraordinarily successful and soon became part of the womenswear sector and revolutionized its market.
Then the appeal of elastic fabrics extended to menswear with formal and informal clothes.
In the late ’80s Elena Reggiani, the daughter of Beatrice and Attilio, became part of the family company as commercial manager promoting the development of the group.
1992
Company’s expansion is remarkable.
Giovanni Reggiani, the brother of Elena, entered in the family staff focusing his work in research and development of collections, appreciated by the designers.
The plant of Varallo Sesia (VC) was set up, the current headquarter of the company, with a surface that over the years increased two-fold reaching around 13.000 m2 to help the development of the departments of twisting, warping, weaving, mending and quality control.
1997
Reggiani is always on the move with a constant view to expansion.
The aim is to offer to the customer a cutting edge service, and all the more DE-LUXE, so the REGGIANI group took over the Dyeing Finishing plant AZETA di Vallemosso (BI) that occupies a surface of around 15.000 m2.
1998
A crucial year for corporate evolution.
On May 28 the company that by now has reached considerable dimensions transformed into REGGIANI WOOL FACTORY S.p.A.
The wife of Attilio Reggiani, Beatrice, who worked in the company since the start, became its managing director.
It is time to improve and consolidate the company structure and the production process trying to meet the requirements of the most sophisticated customers and of new markets constantly evolving as the American and Japanese ones.
Reggiani made incredible renovations and important investments, increasing the production capacity and most of all the quality aspect that differentiates the name of the world market.
2002
Development of the company with the construction of the new plant of Doccio-Quarona (VC) on a surface of 5.000 m2 for the strengthening of the weaving department of the Varallo Sesia plant.
2008
REGGIANI, the future trip.
The group, at the top of the womenswear, collaborates with the most prestigious companies and international haute couture.
The constant commitment, sacrifice and entrepreneurial skill of the REGGIANI family promoted the stretch fabric in the world.
Now the Reggiani group develops on a total surface of around 40.000 m2, with around 150 employees and a production capacity of around three million meters per year.
