On this important occasion, we met Silvio Botto Poala, the driving force behind the historical company, to whom we asked how he evaluates so much history. With its 140 years of history Botto Giuseppe is a fourth generation company in the production of textiles. For other products, such as knitting yarns, we can be considered relatively young being only active in this field for six years but already with very positive results. Enviable position today, being an example of textile culture. What is the secret? Like all textile companies that have an important past, the secret is to keep your own specific values, learning from past experiences but looking carefully to the future. In our business changes are inevitable and it is necessary to look for more ideas and new…

The Zegna Baruffa Lane Borgosesia dream is the will to pursue goals more and more complex to achieve. A sentence that sums up the difficulties encountered in inventing “the new” in a world where almost everything has already been experienced. The natural fibres, which represent the backbone of the Spring/Summer collections, are mainly cottons and linens for their ability to protect us from the heat; silks for their incomparable glamour; wools and extra light cashmeres for less mild climates or evenings.

During an evening in Milan entitled ‘Transparent as Water, MS Printing Solutions launched a new challenge in the name of sustainability. Adhering to the manifesto TEXTILE 3.0™, the company proposed the new 100/90/10 industrial code, going beyond simple technological innovation in the name of authentic environmental sustainability. Here is some data: 100 litres of water are consumed per kilogram of fabric in traditional finishing processes; 90% is the percentage of water that the new industrial code intends to save; 10 litres of water to be returned to mankind with the introduction of 300 single pass “dry printing” machines instead of the existing “wet printing” cylinder ones. Thanks to single-pass, which represent a real element of cultural discontinuity in the approach to innovation in the textile sector, MS Printing Solutions is…
