Our history
The roots of Tessitura Langè lie in Tessitura Langè-Rudoni, founded in 1941: the beginning of a textile story that today counts almost 80 years of experience.
La Tessitura Langè srl is founded, a family-run company established by Giovanni Langè after the split from the previous company. It specialises in the production of quality cotton fabrics, made according to the finest textile tradition.
From a simple textile company producing greige fabrics, Tessitura Langè begins to invest by building its fabric raising (napping) department. It is the start of a major change in the company’s strategy.
The spinning department is launched, making it possible to produce more specific yarns in-house according to the sectors of use.
To raise the quality of its products and counter the growing competition from Asian countries, the cotton fabric dyeing and finishing department is inaugurated. A pivotal choice that allows Tessitura Langè to enter new markets, consolidated in the years that followed.
The first eco-friendly fabrics made from recycled raw material are created, showing care and sensitivity to environmental issues well ahead of their time.
A second department for the preparation and dyeing of cotton fabrics (continuous process) is built, to ensure consistent quality over large volumes.
The new fabric calendering department comes into operation.
Industrie Chimiche Forestali S.p.A. acquires the business unit of Tessitura Langè s.r.l., already its long-standing supplier.
