Filatura Orobica started its business using synthetic fibers for the production of blankets. 1970s ENLARGEMENT The business developed successfully and it was necessary the extension of productive area, that from the initial 1,500 m2 arrived at a coverage of 5.000 m2. During that period, the production was mainly for the domestic market. 1980s GROWTH The company was taken over by one of its founding members: Servilio Corlazzoli, who gradually entrusted the management to his children Gian Paolo, Gabriella and Gianpietro.
