“The future has ancient roots”

A long company history, the ability to intercept new trends and an in-depth knowledge of materials are the strengths of Lanificio Bigagli Spa, established in 1973 in Montemurlo, in the heart of Prato’s textile district.
Over time, the expertise honed by the local manufacturing tradition paired with continued investments in new-generation machinery has resulted in the company becoming an Italian market leader in the sector of natural woollen felts, needled felts and linings for footwear, slippers and leather goods.
