lanificio fratelli bacci

history

On 26 April 1916...

The company began its activity in 1916, when GIUSEPPE BACCI, manager director in a bank, created, together with his five sons , the COTTON AND JUTA POWER LOOM WEAVING.

The company's production slowed down owing to the First War, that cost the family one of its sons, the firstborn ALFONSO.

During the ensuing years the four brothers' hard working and dedication gived their results and, in 1925 the company started its own collection, taking its first steps in the wool industry, winning the attention and esteem of new and important clients. In 1935 they started to build the new factory.

The second world conflict, destroying everything by its passing, broke off the usual activity and production of the company.

The factory was closed. ALESSANDRO, the youngest of the brothers, was accused of espionage by the the Germans and killed. With him all the company's equipments were destroyed.

The postwar period (1945/50) was characterised by the recontruction. Moved by the vigour and vitality of its third generation (FRANCESCO, GIUSEPPE, ALFONSO, MARIO), the Bacci's rebuilt the factory, completing it with the finishing department, equipped with the most modern engines. The company was called LANIFICIO FRATELLI BACCI, and it started the first satisfactory business relations with foreign countries.

The inundation of 1966 flooded the factory, but the family managed another time, with the support of friends, clients and supplying firms , to keep the industry going.

Since the seventies LANIFICIO FRATELLI BACCI went the way of a constant productive, organizing and technological expansion, through areas enlarging as well as departments reorganizing.

At the beginning of the eighties the company became a joint-stock company, and distinguished itself by the massive introduction of data processing systems, which made its activity even more dynamic and elastic.

During the same ten years the company was witness of the fourth generation's entry: ALESSANDRO, CRISTINA, CECILIA, FILIPPO, FRANCESCA, LORENZO, SERENA, LUIGI, PAOLO, whom were entrusted with the different departments. Even today different generations are bound by a lively and fruitful business relation: youth and experience, innovation and tradition.
