Jackytex

Italian textile company. Its headquarters are in Terranova Bracciolini (Arez”zo) Established in 1972, it has always been characterized for its research and strong innovative spirit: the use of viscose when it was used only for lining; the different choices in the quantity of use. These entrepreneurial virtues caused quick growth up until the international successes in the late 1970s: meeting with stylistic ready-to-wear and successes on the runway. It then experienced further developments through the introduction of electronic machines and the use of new fibers for the six-color gobelin, the unusual elasticity in Lycra, the new knitwear products, and exclusivity for designers. The monocentric, familiar management of those years was replaced by diversification of production cycles. It established an associated company, the Knitting, for the weaving of plain dyed fabrics. In 1997 the group employed 70 workers, produced more than 1.5 million precious fibers, and had a turnover of 43 billion, 40% of which came from export. The end of the millennium projected the company into advanced methods, techniques, and weaving mills creating inlayed velvets and new fibers.
