Gigliotti Macchine Tessili

Founded in 2010, Gigliotti Macchine Tessili is the result of decades of experience in mechanical engineering acquired by Giovanni Gigliotti. This is a path that originated in 1973, in the vibrant textile district of Prato, and matured in the company founded with two other partners. It is a story full of passion, determination and success.

However, in 2010 Giovanni Gigliotti felt the need to get back in the game, demonstrating his insatiable necessity to evolve, and thus founded a completely new company, young and constantly changing with the aim of writing an even brighter future.

Today, Gigliotti Macchine Tessili is a guarantee of safety, recognized globally for the construction quality of its machines and for their reliability.

Our mission is to meet the increasingly demanding market requests, following the trends and shaping the machines directly on the customer. This is how the best and always unique yarns are produced. The most beautiful yarns.
