For more than one hundred and twenty years Cosetex has been working in the context of silk. The founders started collecting discontinuous silk materials from local reeling mills in northern Brianza, Bergamo, and in the Milan area. Led by a third generation family leader, Cosetex now aims at encouraging the use of discontinuous silk fiber in many different fields through the creation of networks and structures for studying, providing information about and promoting the outstanding features of this wonderful fibre.
