Our company

The yarn passes through the machine and turns into a semi-finished product, which are called in slang "tube". The tights are made one leg at a time and then assembled later. To guarantee the maximum quality of the finished product, without any defect, our operators carefully check each machine during processing.

Immediately after knitting, an operator carries out a further control to check that there are no defects in the “tubes”. Then they are sewn at the toe thanks to a special machine that first turns the article upside down to carry out the seam internally. Before seaming the “tubes” are cut at a specific point called "band" and then sewn manually by an operator who joins them inserting also the hygienic cotton gusset. This process can take place in two different ways, with automatic 2-needle seam or by hand with flat four-needle seam.

In our sector, ironing is called "boarding" and it occurs halfway through the production cycle to guarantee a homogeneous and uniform dyeing. During the boarding, the operators insert the assembled tights on special metal shapes which iron the products by heating with steam. Afterwards the tights are grouped in dozens, ready for the next step.

At this point of the production cycle, our operators prepare the articles for dyeing, by putting them in special steel containers commonly called "drawers". Each drawer is then placed in another larger container ("wardrobe") which will be transferred to the dyeing department.

Once the cabinets loaded with the products are ready, they are inserted into the dyeing machine. The colour is prepared in the laboratory by our chemist and inserted into the machine that dyes the whole cabinet in the same colour. The dye-house uses a recirculation of the same clean and purified water, which guarantees a homogeneous, antibacterial and eco-friendly dye.

After dyeing, the products must be dried. To do this, they are placed in a large centrifuge which discharges most of the water, but still remains wet. They are then brought to the department called "oven" where the operators place the products on the carpet roll of a proper machine that dries them slowly.

At this point, the products are ready to be worn. They are then brought into the packing department where our operators manually check and pack every single article produced. In this phase, the products are placed one by one on the operator's table, who inserts a cardboard in the middle and folds the product on. Then they are placed into a plastic bag and finally placed in the classic envelope that you are used to buying in the stores. The packaging department prepares the boxes for the finished product warehouse, dividing them by article, size and colour.

The products are placed in order in the warehouse to allow operators to prepare their shipments quickly and efficiently. In addition, in 2018 we digitized this phase by equipping each employee with a PDA which, through a barcode system, recognizes the order in progress and allows only the required items to be prepared within the shipment. The preparation of the orders and all documents is therefore fast and the possibility of making mistakes is eliminated.
