Prochownick

Italian tie company. In 1880 Hermann Prochownick arrived in Milan from Leipzig to start producing ties, scarves, and foulards in silk and wool. In the 1930s his sons Carlo and Luigi italianised their surname to become Procovio (but they kept the original company name). They expanded the business and start exporting abroad. The factory is in Via Bandello in Milan. The company has 65 employees and about 1,700 clients and 70% of their Prochownick label products are destined for export. They do not manufacture for third parties.
