Head of the dyeing division at Tollegno 1900, in 2025, she and her 11-person staff will celebrate 18 years of a "committed and passionate" career.

Emanuela Biffi, head of the company’s dyeing division, which consists of 11 employees, recently celebrated her first 18 years at Tollegno 1900. This is a significant achievement for her, as she boasts several medals (of merit) and a record (of gender). Emanuela is, in fact, one of only three women from Biella who hold a management role in a traditionally male-dominated sector.

Indorama Ventures, which owns Filatura di Tollegno, can count on two of the Biella area’s female yarn “dyers” on its staff: an achievement or a responsibility?

Certainly an achievement, considering that the dyeing world is predominantly male. Throughout my professional career, I was able to fill this role because I met people who valued skills over gender, age, or prejudice in general. There’s no doubt, however, that my path, in some ways, was more challenging than that of a colleague of the opposite sex, but my tenacity and passion paid off.
