INDIGO DYEING MACHINES

DEVELOPMENT

(what it takes to make the difference)

The leaflet here attached that celebrates our fiftieth working year, more than the
dutiful thanks to you, to our technicians and cooperators, expresses the achievement
of this precious goal that we have been able to reach thanks to a philosophy that we
can say is the base of our success.
The construction, in 1972, of the first slasher continuous indigo dyeing machine, for
denim warp chains, up to then rope dyed has revealed not only the future potentiality
of this new system, but also the necessity to study in detail all its special technology.
So being already established manufacturers of machines and plants for yarn dyeing
on cones, beams and so on, we decided to develop also this new production and to
continue to dedicate ourselves to the specific field of yarn dyeing only, placing
ourselves the aim to reach, also for this new indigo dyeing machine, the excellence
that had always marked our production.
In order to reach this goal and since we are firmly convinced about the importance
that theoretical and applied research represent the milestone for an always more
advanced and efficient technology which is respectful of the environment, we are the
sole manufacturer of these machine in the world to have adopted a Research &
Development department equipped with creel, fractional warping, and a lab dyeing
machine able to reproduce in small scale the industrial ones and moreover we do
also have a well equipped chemical lab.
This equipment made it possible for our technicians and qualified cooperators to
perform researches, trials and tests for new concepts and allowed them to have an
always deeper knowledge of the dyeing processes, through the influence of their
various parameters, for the continuous updating of our machines.
All this being said in addition to the active cooperation with our customers, among the
most valued denim manufacturers in the world, allowed us to essentially differentiate
our machines from those of our competitors, that are excellent manufacturers of
standard machines, such as warping, sizing and so on, but are in no way specialized
in the machines for indigo dyeing, core of the denim productive process.
