Our History
YESTERDAY
TOMORROW
Vittorio Rinaldi signs the constitutive act for the company named Tessitura di Crevacuore. The head office is in Crevacuore on the premises of an old tannery and the company disposes of only four looms.
the company moves premises to Borgosesia and enlarges, adding a finishing section.
Tessitura di Crevacuore changes from using the shuttle loom to using the rapier loom, with a significant reduction in production times and an increase in the quality of their finished fabrics.
technology takes another step forwards. The traditional rapier loom is replaced by a computer-controlled rapier loom, further increasing performance and reducing production times.Moreover, reel dyeing is abandoned in favour of flow dyeing. The founder is replaced by his nephews: a new generation follows the path taken by the previous. Vittorio Rinaldi is awarded the "Ape d'Oro" (Golden Bee) prize for his industriousness in the area.
there has been a great change in the market.The economic crisis has hit many companies in the wool and textile sector.Tessitura di Crevacuore, thanks to its foresight and managerial decisions, has known how to fight back and indeed, relaunch itself. Finding itself strong enough to enter overseas markets and, from there, take that touch of “Made in Italy” to the biggest prêt-à-porter brands.
