Marchio 4sustainability con pay off

Telling the story of the Taroni company means celebrating the excellence of quality and craftsmanship at the service of the finest creativity.The company was founded in 1880 thanks to Amedeo Taroni, a talented weaver and artist, who left traces of his creations in the books of a valuable archive.

   In 1999, the heir, Giampaolo Porlezza handed over the company to Michele Canepa, who has taken control of the mill. His son Maximilian, company CEO and Creative Director, is now dedicated to bringing TARONI up to speed with the modern world while still maintaining its long standing traditions.

   Beside remarkable investments aimed at improving quality control of the whole productive cycle, the new headquarters, rational and modern, will allow a further boost to the entire activity.

    The industrial culture and actual challenge of Taroni S.p.A. is centeredonthe satisfactionof clients’ and customers’ requests of quality without neglecting the refinement and innovation ofindustrial processes in order to meetthe sustainability values we care about.
