The Gazzetto family spinning mill
In Salussola, near Biella, since the 1960s. Now in our third generation, with the whole production cycle under one roof.
A bit of history
The 1960s
It starts with rags
Our founder, Mario Gazzetto, starts a small family business recovering fibres from textile rags: reclaimed fibres get a new life.
Then
Worsted spinning
The company becomes a worsted spinning mill working for third parties, and soon an established business able to produce high value-added yarns of its own.
The 1990s
The flame-retardant intuition
The second generation brings recognition, thanks to the idea of working technical fibres, flame-retardant above all. We become a reference partner, in Italy and abroad, for those who use these special fibres.
Today
The third generation
Today the company is run by the third generation. Alongside technical yarns, wool has grown to become our main market.
Opposites attract
Flame-retardant yarns, and more. Our production grew from two blocks: yarns for underwear and yarns for furnishing. Where flame-retardant know-how met knitwear experience, a third was born: wool.
Our kingdom
Our kingdom is our spinning mill. The whole production process, from blending through preparation, spinning and coning to twisting, is a full cycle: every stage takes place in-house and is followed with dedication by all of us.
Our recipe
A good yarn takes four things. This is how we see them.
The ingredients
Knowing how to choose, select and blend the best ingredients is the recipe for a good yarn.
Depending on the end use, our choice of materials ranges from the most technical fibres, such as SEVEL flame-retardant modacrylics and TREVIRA CS flame-retardant polyesters, to DRALON acrylics for outdoor use, TENCEL viscoses and nylons, up to a very wide range of wools differing in origin, fineness and hand.
The tools of the trade
Raw materials are essential, but without the right tools even the best ones do not deliver the expected results.
That is why we invest steadily in our machinery, tune it to the result we want, and keep improving our plant and workplace, for the process and for the people who run it.
The actors
The people who work here are the heart of the company: the real actors. Every stage is followed by skilled staff together with the owners, who work side by side on the shop floor and personally oversee every step.
Care for quality and cleanliness is our business philosophy, and it shows above all in our departments, our real strength.
The details
More often than not, details make the difference. When caring for them becomes your mission, the result is the utmost care in what you do best: the yarn.
That is why tailor-made is our strength: alongside a wide range of stock-service yarns, we make more and more products to measure, to each customer’s needs.
Our energy
The energy and commitment we put in come from our tradition and from our solar plant, which produces clean energy and covers almost half of our needs. Together with LED lighting, it reflects our care for the environment around us.
