Miroglio Textiles USA Inc history

In 1900, the Miroglios opened their own fabric store in Alba, and later opened a new store on the city’s Piazza Duomo.

In 1947 Miroglio bought four looms, which were installed in the Alba warehouse.

The company’s next step came in 1957 when it built a dyeing and print plant.

That number grew steadily, and by 1962, Miroglio boasted more than 450 automatic looms.

The new generation steered the company onto the international market starting in 1972, becoming an early adopter of outsourced production methods.

The company continued to build its yarn production technologies, adding texturizing systems at the Saluzzo plant starting in 1976.

The strong growth of the printing division encouraged the company to invest in its expansion at the beginning of the 1980s, with the construction of its Govone Printing Division in 1980.

Among these was the purchase of Ulmia Stoffe, based in Ravensburg, Germany, acquired in 1989.

Similarly, the company built a new automatic cylinder warehouse in 1990, which was capable of stocking some 17,000 cylinders and streamlined delivery to the company’s manufacturing and other operations.

Miroglio’s ambitions were satisfied, however, by the 1993 purchase of the ready-to-wear division of design house Yves Rocher.

By 2001, Miroglio’s Bulgarian operations also boasted a loom factory in Sliven.

In 2011, Miroglio set out on a new course via hi-tech.
