Tollegno 1900's Quality Manager discusses the strengths that make the company an international benchmark in the yarn industry, starting with its ability to customize color ranges.

 

Davide DelPrato, Quality Manager at Tollegno 1900, is clear that to carve out a leading role in the market, in addition to the quality of the yarn produced, three factors are crucial: service offered, the ability to customize the color range based on customer requests, and certifications that confirm the company’s high production standards and attention to the environment. “My job, and that of my four colleagues,” he explains, “is to ensure product compliance throughout all stages of production, so as to bring a high-performance yarn to the increasingly demanding and discerning market. This performance allows for versatility and versatility of use: over the years, the yarn has expanded beyond knitwear and found its way into many other contexts, such as home interiors. This makes it essential to guarantee impeccable standards.”
