Home Production Events Collection Contact KNITTED FABRIC to be proud of The Company When founded in 1992 by Luca Mattei as “SMI Tessuti a Maglia S.r.l.” as part of the Filatura Nivale Group (manufacturer of carded yarns for knitting and weaving, founded in 1962 by Bruno Mattei), the company had the goal to focus on the production of knit fabrics for women’s ready-to-wear clothing. In 2001, after almost 10 years of continuous growth that placed the company among the leading manufacturers of knit fabrics in the district of Prato, it was transformed into a joint-stock company. In December 2001 the company’s name changed to “SMI Tessuti S.p.A.”. Over the years, besides to the main collection of knit fabrics, a new one named Euthalia by SMI was developed, which has widened SMI Tessuti’s production range introducing woven fabrics and fur. From the beginning of 2012, due to the growth of the production and the number of employees, the company decided to move to the new headquarters in via Guimaraes (Prato).
