The Italian yarn manufacturer Fulgar S.p.A. can call on decades of know-how in the textile industry. With its aspirations for innovation, constant customer focus and high quality, the company has become one of the leading manufacturers of polyamides used mainly for the manufacture of knitted fabrics, lingerie, swimwear and sportswear. Almost all articles meet the most stringent human-ecological demands necessary for certification in product class 1 (baby articles) for the OEKO-TEX® standard 100.
Fulgar S.p.A. was founded in 1980 in Castel Goffredo (Mantua) as a supplier to local textile companies in the former ´hosiery district´. As a result of far-sighted company policies and optimum market adjustment, the company gradually won ground in the international textile arena. Since 2000, Fulgar has been reaching new international markets with its own brand, particularly in the Asian and Eastern European regions. Today, the company has subsidiaries in Sri Lanka and Serbia and also maintains a sales office in Turkey.
With around 800 employees, Fulgar can today offer a wide range of products. For Alan Garosi, Marketing Manager, the focus is on adjustment of the finished products to suit the needs of the end consumers: ´The yarns manufactured by Fulgar are used for all types of textiles: their application ranges from circular knitting for modern jersey textiles to hosiery, corsetry and swimwear, to sportswear. Our decades of know-how in the textile industry have enabled us to create intelligent fibres with new capabilities and to offer a wide, environmentally friendly and sustainable range of products.´
Thanks to extensive investments in the area of research and development, Fulgar can now concentrate on the development of new and innovative fibres. ´In addition to our particular customer focus and strength of innovation, our philosophy also includes an extremely high commitment to environmental issues and sustainability´, stated Alan Garosi, ´We implement varied projects and initiatives on a daily basis which involve all production processes.´
