Elegant finish for a stylish ambiance Rivolta Carmignani S.p.A has OEKO-TEX standard 1000 certification The traditional, family-run business Rivolta Carmignani has been synonymous with top quality for decades. Whether it's high quality bed linens, table linens or bathroom textiles for hotels, restaurants and other clients from the exclusive contract textiles sector, all the linen collections meet the most stringent demands in terms of quality, service life and design. At the same time, Rivolta Carmignani is the first company in Italy to receive OEKO TEX standard 1000 certification for its environmentally sound and socially responsible production conditions. Quality and style as a trademark Rivolta Carmignani S.p.A., located in Macherio in northern Italy, has more than 140 years' experience of manufacturing high quality contract textiles. Founded in 1867, the company developed a high degree of continuity in terms of top quality and a tailored service for its clientèle right from the start. High quality products, stylish designs and innovative ideas have always been our trademark, stresses Dr. Aldo Rivolta, Vice-president, "and we traditionally offer the entire specialist expertise to our demanding clientèle." Rivolta Carmignani brings together this comprehensive specialist expertise across all the requisite production stages at a single site in Macherio. As a fully integrated operation employing 120 people from weaving to processing and finishing right through to making up and embroidery, the company makes high quality bed and table linens and bathroom textiles for hotels, restaurants and numerous other buyers of contract textiles. The collections are highly valued throughout the world by an extensive client base consisting of around 10,000 companies in Italy, USA, Europe, Mexico, Canada and the United Arab Emirates, the Far East and Japan. Product ideas and designs for the linen collections are created in close co-operation with the customers in the company's own design and style office and are then produced according to individual requirements naturally also with an inwoven or embroidered logo or emblem of the client upon request. Stringent quality controls At each processing stage and before any item is dispatched, all items have to undergo stringent quality controls in order to meet the highest demands of well-known luxury hotels, spa and wellness facilities, exclusive gourmet restaurants and airlines and shipping lines throughout the world. Accordingly, only high quality raw materials, such as the finest Egyptian cotton and elegant flax yarns, are used. Alongside the elegant fabrics and timeless designs, durability, long life and good wash resistance primarily distinguish bed and table linen collections, as well as towel sets from Rivolta Carmignani. Dr. Rivolta goes further: Furthermore, we attach considerable importance 1 / 5
to being able to offer our clients as broad a product range as possible to align perfectly with the reputation and ambiance of our company. Sustainability as a mark of quality One further important quality feature for Rivolta Carmignani is also that its products pose no risk to health. The company insists on independent product certification to OEKO-TEX standard 100 to guarantee the requisite safety for clients and therefore also their guests. The Vice-president explains: In accordance with our philosophy, we concentrate on always being able to provide effective products. This is why safety is crucial for sensitive items, in particular, such as bed linen or bathroom textiles. Ultimately, we are able to actively contribute our guests' well-being in this way. With successful certification as an environmentally sound and socially responsible company to OEKO-TEX standard 1000 in 2010, the company went one step further and therefore also consolidated its claim to achieve as optimal result as possible in terms of sustainable production conditions. According to Aldo Rivolta, this step underlines the explicit objective of making environmentally friendly production processes and social working conditions transparent to the client: "We do not simply offer our clients products that enable sustainable usage through a good price-to-performance ratio and their excellent performance characteristics. They can now also be confident that the items have been produced under sustainable conditions." The latest and most efficient machines are the basis for this, which guarantee high productivity on the one hand, while also saving energy and other resources, on the other. To utilise all possible potential to the full, all production processes are continually optimised. Aldo Rivolta goes on to say: We have also installed our own photovoltaics plant with a top performance of 190 kwp, which enables an up to 20 % energy saving and CO2 emission savings of 115 tons per year. And we benefit from certification to OEKO-TEX standard 1000, as we are able to organise our production processes even more efficiently than before based on the standard.
