Radici Yarn SpA, a RadiciGroup company and a leading European manufacturer of nylon yarn and staple fibres for apparel, technical and industrial applications, is among the 33 companies in the fashion textiles sector that have received an award for being certified to Oeko-Tex Standard 100 for 20 years.

The Oeko-Tex award ceremony organized by the Varese Chamber of Commerce was held on 21 June, at MUDEC in Milan, where Radici Yarn SpA was one of the honourees. At the last year’s event at the MA*GA Museum, Noyfil SpA and Noyfil SA, RadiciGroup company leaders in the production of polyester yarn headed by CEO Oscar Novali, were also recognized for being certified to Oeko-Tex Standard 100 for 20 years.

Important recognition

The Bergamo-based RadiciGroup company, founded in 1974 and today engaged in the manufacture of nylon yarn and staple fibre, was among the 33 firms that received an award for 20 years of certification to Oeko Tex Standard 100, currently the world’s most well known and highly regarded voluntary eco-friendly label for textile products.

“This is an important recognition for our company. It’s an award that testifies to our commitment to monitor the safety of our products constantly using a scientific method,” commented Oscar Novali, CEO of Radici Yarn SpA.

“Observing the requirements of Oeko-Tex means that we offer the maximum guarantee to the final user; it means that we can relate to our customers and the market in a transparent manner and guarantee accurate and reliable information on the products we supply. And this is clearly an added value that our company offers the market.”

Attention to environmental certification

Among the attendees of the award ceremony at the Museum of Culture in Milan was Filippo Bona, R&D manager of Radici Yarn. “Our customers’ attention to environmental certification, particularly concerning consumer health, has increased greatly in the last few years, as has the interest of all operators in the apparel textiles production and supply chain,” he said.

“The speed of change in textile safety issues requires us to be continuously updated. It is essential that we carefully analyse every new development. For this reason, we interface directly with the various trade associations, research institutions, certification bodies and everyone who is directly involved in our production chain in order to constantly improve the environmental performance and safety of our products. The performance must be scientifically measurable and comparable: only in this way can we be truly reliable.”
