Artemoda

What Artemoda does

Artemoda S.r.l. is a privately held, family-owned Italian manufacturer of circular and tubular knit fabrics, headquartered in Masserano (Biella province) within Italy's traditional textile district. The company traces its origins to Maglificio Erregi, founded in 1974, and was formed in its current configuration through the 2000 merger of Maglificio Erregi and Maglificio Artemoda, with the Dal Ben, Ottone, and Rondi families continuing in all senior leadership roles (commercial/technical direction, production, order processing, and customer service). Artemoda operates a 53,000 sqm facility (6,000 sqm covered) with 125 looms and an annual production capacity of 2,500,000 kg of knit fabric (15,000 kg/day in the weaving department), spanning differentiated machine diameters and 12 yarn counts from 7 to 44.

The company produces knit fabrics under its own Artemoda brand and on a contract manufacturing basis for third-party clients, targeting two primary verticals: Alta Moda (high fashion) houses and sportswear/technical apparel brands, with secondary exposure to intimate apparel, outerwear, home furnishing, and automotive textiles. The product range covers smooth, rib, jersey, electronic jacquard, elastic open, double face, interlock and derivatives, padded, and sponge fabrics. Supporting services include technical analysis, prototype and sample development, R&D with European yarn spinners for high-tech content fabrics, and style/sample catalog creation using ENEAS DESIGNER computer graphics for jacquard design and varianting. Production is governed by a computerized production management system with continuous quality control at incoming goods, in-process, and final batch stages.

Artemoda's go-to-market is consultative, enterprise B2B field sales: the company maintains partnerships with leading European yarn spinners to co-develop and test innovative fabrics, then presents new ideas and prototypes proactively to fashion houses and sportswear brands. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Revenue is not reported; no funding rounds, patents, certifications, or third-party customer logos are disclosed in the available material, limiting external visibility into commercial scale and customer concentration.
