Iride SrlID Nr. 4S-100396e-report version 3.0
Iride s.r.l. was born in 2013 thanks to entrepreneurs interested in continuing the previous activity. It is managed by Adolfo Marchetti who is assisted by a young, dynamic and highly motivated staff. In order to be always at the forefront and not fall into the banality of a product already seen, in recent years has invested primarily in staff specialization in order to create a team that is motivated to grow with the company. Always attentive to respect for the environment and the fundamental rights of workers, in 2011 Iride obtained GOTS certification and developed a study on dyeing with natural dyes on cloth. Over the years the dyeing departments and the adjoining laboratory have been expanded and restructured. In order to improve safety, two automatic systems for the distribution of chemical products, chloride and sulfate, have also been installed. Moreover, the renovation of the building is going on, in order to make the workplaces easier and safer, investing more and more in the Biella area.
