SILVIA BIGAGLI TESSUTI S.R.L

What SILVIA BIGAGLI TESSUTI S.R.L does

Silvia Bigagli Tessuti S.r.l is an Italian B2B textile distributor headquartered in Prato, Tuscany, operating as part of the wider Bigagli industrial group. Founded in 1996 (with group roots back to 1974) and now in its second generation of family ownership, the company supplies certified workwear fabrics — polyester/cotton blends, 100% cotton canvases and gabardines, stretch articles, laminated +PU waterproofs, multiprotection knits and EN 20471 reflex bands — to workwear converters, industrial laundries, hospitals and rescue-service garment makers. The portfolio is anchored by branded lines including the Supertecno multiprotection family (150/250/360 variants, plus stretch and HV versions), the Falco/Fustagno/Tiger/Shark rescue and HV range, Polartech and Polartech-derived flame-retardant knitwear, and a dedicated reflex-band category offered in sew-on and heat-fix variants.

The company's technology proposition is certification density rather than proprietary R&D: 40 active product and quality certifications cover OEKO-TEX Standard 100, SGS ISO 9001, EN 20471, EN 469, EN 1149-5, EN ISO 11611/11612, EN 13034, EN 15614, EN 343, IEC 61482-2 and EN 340, with all protective fabrics validated through Centro Tessile Cotoniero & Abbigliamento Spa. It holds approximately 2 million meters of fabric in stock at its Prato warehouse and processes orders within 24 hours, serving roughly 500 active clients. There is no disclosed digital platform, no API or SDK offering, no app presence and no AI/ML capability in the supplied data — operations run on a direct B2B sales motion through the commercial office, with a bilingual product-catalog website functioning as the only top-of-funnel marketing channel.

The revenue model is straightforward one-time B2B fabric sales priced by quote; pricing is not publicly disclosed and the company does not list named enterprise customers. Geographic footprint is concentrated in Italy with claimed European reach, and the ownership structure is wholly family-held with no external institutional investors or parent company.
