Imprima

What Imprima does

Imprima S.r.l. is a privately held Italian textile printing and finishing group headquartered in Bulgarograsso (Como), founded in 2016 by private equity sponsor Wise Equity SGR. The group operates as a multi-brand platform consolidating five textile entities with deep heritage — SET (founded in Rome, 1975), Guarisco, B-Blossom (founded in Como, 2011), Premier Fabrics, and the Imprima parent — serving both the Fast Fashion and Collection segments of the European fashion industry. Production is anchored by Italian plants in Bulgarograsso and Lonate Pozzolo, supplemented by manufacturing facilities in Brazil (Tigu do Brasil, Itatiba) and China (Jiaxing G-Project), with commercial sites in Germany, France, Morocco, and the United States.

The group's core manufacturing technology spans rotary press, fully digital high-speed, and transfer printing across substrates including cotton, lycra, polyester, silk, and viscose, with a combined annual printing capacity exceeding 35 million meters. Its Bulgarograsso facility hosts the first fully digital high-speed industrial platform in Como, and an integrated water management system delivers up to 70% water savings via biological purification (60,000 liters/hour), under-vacuum evaporation (95% efficiency), and chemical-physical treatment (15,000 liters/hour), supporting a zero-net GHG Scope 1 and 2 target for 2024. Backed by ISO 14001, OEKO-TEX Standard 100, GOTS, BCI, and EcoVero certifications, the group employs 560 workers across 25 nationalities, manages an archive of over 200,000 patterns, and runs a centralized 8,000 sqm logistics hub capable of stocking 10 million meters.

The business model is B2B and sales-led, with revenue derived from transaction-fee textile printing, finishing, and fabric sales plus professional services spanning collection planning, fabric selection, pre-treatment, printing/dyeing, and finishing. Each sub-brand operates dedicated designers and sales teams serving enterprise fashion customers directly, with pricing negotiated per project or collection. Distribution is direct through the brand portfolio, supported by international commercial sites for regional market development. The group is a private, founder- and sponsor-controlled entity with €3,000,000 fully paid-in registered capital and Italian corporate governance under Model 231.
