In the 1930s a wholesale warehouse was opened in Florence on the initiative of the forefather Umberto Martinelli for the trade of household linen.
In 1945 the first unit production was born in Leffe, thanks to the installation of a weaving to create covers and bedcovers
In the 1970s the business expanded to a new production site of about 4,000 square meters and also added new lines of spinning, weaving and finishing for covers
In 1963 a spinning mill was added
In the ‘90s the productions of wadding, needle-punched felts, fiberballs and the lamination of fabrics were introduced
