4SUSTAINABILITY E-REPORT Industria Italiana Filati

Industria Italiana Filati SpaID Nr. 4S-100261e-report version 3.0

Industria Italiana Filati represents over a century of dedication and passion spent in the Italian textile industry. In 1897 Guido Lucchesi was producing and exporting fabrics to three continents. Successive generations have kept the textile tradition alive. In 1962, intuition and research gave new vitality to the company, which has been producing knitting yarns ever since. In 1997, the Lucchesi family celebrated its first centenary of activity and the continuation of the journey. In 2019, now in its fifth generation, the company launches the Ecollection line, with the desire to best express future green lines while respecting our most precious asset: the environment. All our knitting and weaving yarns are designed, created and produced entirely in Italy, in the Prato district.
