Maglificio Ripa a pioneering manufacturer of circular knitted textiles,  which has been producing beach, sports and fashion fabrics since 1952, has appointed Michele Brugognone as its new head of sales.

Brugognone, with a deep knowledge of the industry and marked experience in international markets, will accelerate the globalisation project of the company, which in recent months has dedicated significant investments to a new configuration of the sales network in order to further increase its presence in strategic target markets (North America, Europe, Asia).

“Despite the turbulence that has been affecting the global fashion industry since the end of 2023,” emphasizes Luca Bianco, sole director of Maglificio Ripa, ”Our company is fine-tuning a new sales network structure and is preparing by the end of the year to inaugurate a new production unit contiguous to the historical headquarters. An investment that will allow us to raise the level of service as well as affect the technological core to which we devote great emphasis.”

“I accepted this new challenge with enthusiasm,” says Michele Brugognone, ”and I will try to bring out all the company's potential, even the most hidden. I have behind me the support of a solid, qualified and world-renowned group with a modern structure, an innovative style office and a sales network that we are strengthening. This work has already begun and will allow us to start already at full speed in the coming weeks with Performance Days in Monaco and then MarediModa in Cannes.”
