Maglieria Gina

What Maglieria Gina does

Maglieria Gina SRL is an Italian family-owned textile manufacturer founded in 1980 and headquartered in Dairago (Milan), specializing in circular knit (maglia circolare) fabrics. The company operates 25 circular knitting machines across five fabric types, with a focus on high-gauge (finezza 44) interlock alongside traditional jersey, and runs its facility entirely on solar power installed in 2018. All production is Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified, and the G-ECO recycled line carries GRS certification via ICEA.

The company serves four primary end-use segments through distinct product lines: Underwear and Nightwear (clean-cut fabrics in polyamide, polyester, cotton, modal, tencel, and micromodal), Beachwear (microfiber swimwear with UV+50 protection, chlorine and seawater resistance, Lycra Xtralife integration, and a 1,000+ design jacquard archive), Athleisure (scuba fabrics in finezza 44 with stretch and shaping properties), and the G-ECO sustainable line. The BEST-FIT sub-line, co-developed with Innova Fabrics, targets shapewear with proprietary elongation and elastic modulus characteristics that reshape silhouette without pressure points.

Maglieria Gina operates as a B2B supplier with no direct-to-consumer or retail channel, selling directly to fashion brands and garment manufacturers through partnership-driven co-development. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is negotiated per engagement. Marketing and customer acquisition are anchored in a concentrated European trade show calendar (Milano Unica, KM0 Moda Madrid, Salon Textil on Tour, Swimwear Barcelona) supplemented by a bilingual website and Instagram presence. The company is owned and operated by its three founding families, with Davide Colombo serving as Data Controller and Data Protection Officer.
