An Italian manufacturer of fabrics and yarns, Tollegno 1900 has a total spinning capacity of around 3,500 tonnes of yarn per year with a specific focus on flat knitting and hand knitting yarns.
The acquisition is a strategic fit for IVL’s integrated business platform and will make a significant contribution to the sustainable growth of its Wool business, which is part of the company’s Fibres segment. It will also strengthen IVL’s footprint for worsted yarns in Europe and help extend IVL’s wool products globally with trading subsidiaries in America and Asia.
The operations, which will be renamed Filatura Tollegno 1900, will add more sustainable products to IVL’s portfolio, including a full traceability project of the fibres used for yarns and fabrics, as well as provide synergies with existing assets, IVL says.
