What Miroglio Group does

Miroglio Group is a privately held, family-controlled Italian fashion conglomerate founded in 1884 in Alba, Piedmont, with industrial operations dating to 1947. The group operates across the full textile-to-retail value chain through wholly-owned subsidiaries Miroglio Fashion (design, manufacturing, and distribution of 9 women's clothing brands including Elena Mirò, Fiorella Rubino, Motivi, Oltre, Luisa Viola, and Diana Gallesi), Sublitex (waterfree transfer printing on paper and technical films, decorating over 60 million square meters annually), and Filature Miroglio (staple yarn production). The group also owns Trussardi, a 120-year-old Italian lifestyle brand acquired in March 2024 from QuattroR fund, operating 15 stores in Italy with menswear, leather goods, and licensing operations.

The company generates revenue through an omnichannel distribution model combining 1,100 branded retail stores (800 in Italy, 300 in Turkey and Middle East via the 2008 Ipekyol Group joint venture), 1,700 international multi-brand wholesale partners, and direct e-commerce across all owned brands. Sublitex operates a B2B model serving textile, fashion, architectural, and interior design clients globally with proprietary waterfree sublimation technology delivering 94%+ water savings versus traditional printing. The group employs between 1,001 and 5,000 people, holds €150 million in share capital as Miroglio S.p.A. (a società con unico socio), and is led by Chairman Giuseppe Miroglio with CEO Alberto Racca.

Geographically, the group is anchored in Italy and Turkey/Middle East, with e-commerce and multi-brand distribution extending its reach internationally. Recent strategic emphasis has been on ESG positioning (Gender Equality Certification, BCI and LENZING ECOVERO certifications, Detox Commitment), customer co-creation programs (Fiorella Rubino Fashion Co-Lab), and brand heritage reinforcement (Elena Mirò 40th anniversary in 2025). The portfolio is internally integrated from yarn through retail, with the Trussardi acquisition marking entry into menswear and lifestyle segments beyond the historical women's fashion core.

Broad incumbents

• Inditex (Zara): World's largest fast-fashion group operating 6,000+ stores across Zara, Bershka, Pull&Bear, Massimo Dutti and others. Broad incumbent in women's apparel with vertical integration and sustainability initiatives that compete with Miroglio's mid-market brands for share of wallet.
