The selection and preparation of raw materials is at the base of any vertical production process, allowing full control of product quality. Raw cotton must be carefully selected taking into account the specificity and characteristics of the final product and the demanding conditions of its technical operations.

A processing unit equipped with state-of-the-art Open End spinning technology, ensuring the production of cotton yarn according to the technical specifications required in the subsequent industrial phase.

Weaving is totally dedicated to the production of gauze fabrics with warp and weft yarns.
Significant investments have recently been made in equipment that is technologically prepared for the manufacture of gauze fabrics in larger rolls, aiming more ecological responsibility and less waste.

In this industrial department, gauze fabric is subjected to a washing and finishing process that provides it characteristics adjusted to its intended purpose and according to the specifications of Standard 14079.
