The Canepa group is a world leader in high-end silk manufacture, a position augmented by its production of supreme quality textiles made from other natural fibers such as cashmere, wool, cotton, linen and hemp. The process of weaving, finishing and producing the finished garment is entirely carried out in Italy: in fact, we can proudly say that Canepa products are 100% ‘Made in Italy’. 

The Canepa group was founded in 1966, but its roots in the silk industry go back to 1930 with the Canepa family’s entry into the Serica Lombarda company, which was in turn the product of the technical know-how and creative skills of a business which had been present in the Como province since the beginning of the 20th century. 

The group is overseen by Elisabetta Canepa, and run by the Canepa and Saibene families. In 2015 saw earnings of over € 107 million with an EBITDA of 11%. 

The company has a global presence and has commercial relations with the biggest international retail, sportswear and luxury brands. Furthermore, Canepa also produces textiles for furnishings and owns the brands Fiorio, LaRana, Gallieni and Tino Cosma which sell ties, scarves and swimwear. 

A large licensing department has been in operation for over 10 years, managing production and distribution for national and international brands. 

In terms of finished garments, annually over 1,000,000 jacquard, printed and tricot ties and 700,000 scarves are produced as well as 300,000 “swim and non-swim” articles, made by the beachwear division. 

Also the women’s and men’s ready-to-wear fabrics division are one of the reference points of Made in Italy for the big international designers with whom Canepa works in a continuous research and experimentation on the variety of fibers, exploring new solutions that quickly enable to obtain innovative stylistic effects with the guarantee of always excellent results.
