MAGLIFICIO MAGGIA - S.R.L.

What MAGLIFICIO MAGGIA - S.R.L. does

Maglificio Maggia S.r.l. is a family-owned Italian textile manufacturer operating from a historic facility at Via Graglia 89 in Occhieppo Superiore, Biella, established in 1780 and tracing its origins to the Maggia family — originally Swiss sheep farmers who settled in Piedmont in the 1700s. Currently in its ninth generation of family ownership under President Umberto Maggia and his children Giovanna (CEO) and Ludovico (commercial division), the company is a private limited company (S.r.l.) with no external investors and no public financial disclosure. It is a going concern with no parent company or subsidiaries.

The company operates a vertically integrated circular knitting operation built around 40 circular knitting machines capable of producing jersey, interlock, fleece, double-faced, stitched jersey, technical, and terry-cloth fabrics using noble fibers such as wool, cashmere, silk, viscose, and cotton. The Occhieppo Superiore plant houses an in-house dyeing department (scouring, enzyme washing, reactive piece dyeing, drying, sanfor ironing), an in-house quality control laboratory testing fastness and ecotoxicological parameters, and a samples department. A secondary MagnoLab pilot-plant site in Cerrione hosts €10 million of textile recycling R&D. The company maintains a 5,000+ sample fabric archive reorganized since 2015, plus 3,000+ historical garments spanning the past 40 years, which is leveraged as design inspiration and a customer reference resource.

Maglificio Maggia generates revenue exclusively through B2B sales of knitted fabrics to high-end and luxury fashion brands worldwide. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; customer relationships are managed directly and reinforced through participation in four major international textile trade fairs — Milano Unica (Milan and Shanghai), TexPremium (London), and Future Textile (Paris). Its certifications include Tessile&Salute (2017, Italian Ministry of Health-aligned on chemical/ecotoxicity), T&F Traceability and Fashion (2019), REACH compliance, and Chinese GB 18401-2010. The company is a founding member of the MagnoLab textile recycling consortium (2022, €10M PNRR-funded) and co-founder of the SlowFiber network with Slow Food Italia (2023). It is also reactivating its 1976-1984 tennis heritage through partnerships with the Biella Tennis Academy and cultural collaborations.
