Since the early 1900, the company's history is directly linked to the Zignone family and is an integral part of the Italian textile tradition. Their goal for Lanificio Zignone’s evolution is to maintain a strong bond with their past, yet making it more contemporary. This was made possible by investing in young professionals in key areas within the company, improving product standards by maximizing supervision, computerizing processes and developing new products. Lanificio Zignone’s mission is to safeguard the "Made in Italy" trademark, a priceless and excellent quality, and the pursuit for success goes through the direct management of the production process which starts from the selection of the finest wool, to the finishing, in order to guarantee maximum transparency and traceability throughout the manufacturing chain located exclusively in Biella. Lanificio Zignone produces the finest quality fabrics and pairs up prestigious traditions with innovative finishes and high-performing materials, in order to become a contemporary classic. Every season, collections with a refined approach are created within the design department, interpreting new fashion scenarios in line with Italian artistry and style. The mill also distinguishes itself for its sustainable production process which has led to a significant reduction of its impact on the environment by using water and energy sources and with the creation of ZONE, the first collection using certified organic wool - GOTS. By implementing this strategy, the company has an absolute novelty for 2015, the guarantee of an APEO FREE and CHROME FREE production process. The process will therefore be alkylphenol ethoxylate free and chrome free, bioaccumulative and persistent surfactants, for a higher level of nature conservation, of aquatic organisms and of good health.
