IGAM

What IGAM does

IGAM S.p.A. is a privately held Italian manufacturer of intimate apparel and sleepwear, founded in 1986 in Canosa di Puglia and operating today under a multi-brand portfolio that includes Nottingham (heritage line), Qbò (fashion-forward, launched 2011), NTG Sport (athletic/performance underwear), Bimbissimi (children's segment, ages 3 months to 12 years), Legea and Hollywood Milano, alongside an inbound license for the Sergio Tacchini brand held with Wintex Italia. Production is concentrated at a single 8,600 sqm integrated facility in the northern Bari textile-industrial district, with a secondary operational unit in Barletta certified under ISO 9001:2015 and IQNet.

The company's underlying capability is conventional textile manufacturing and garment production for underwear, sleepwear, and beachwear, with no proprietary software, AI, or platform layer disclosed. Go-to-market runs through an extensive Italy-wide independent sales-representative network (multiple agents per region for Nottingham, NTG Sport, and Bimbissimi; Les Bas SRL plus independent agents for Qbò), supplemented by direct-to-consumer e-commerce storefronts for the Nottingham and Qbò brands and brand-building investments including Mediaset TV advertising, Facebook/Instagram presence, YouTube, and cultural-event sponsorship.

Revenue mechanics are wholesale-led, selling to Italian retailers and distributors through one-time B2B apparel transactions, with no public pricing, no recurring/SaaS component, and no disclosed revenue figures. The business is family-controlled by the Di Gennaro and Tarantino founding families, with President Antonio Di Gennaro and CEO Dora Di Gennaro leading a management team that covers commercial, technical, administrative/finance, IT, marketing, production planning, and quality control functions. The company claims global distribution reach and has explicitly entered a partnership with Commercial Calza to expand nationally and internationally.
