Journey in the Factories of Beauty
Maglificio Giordano’s has been included among the companies taking part in the project “Journey in the Factories of Beauty”, an initiative promoted by the Literary Prize Giovanni Comisso, that explores some of the most significant experiences in the Italian manufacturing industry.
The article about our factory retraces an entrepreneurial history that began in the second post-war period and deepens some of the characterising themes of top-quality knitwear: the passing of artisanal skills, the evolution of production technologies and the relationship between firms and territory.
A history crossing several generations
Maglificio Giordano’s was founded in 1948, when Eleonora Lavina Dal Mas started a business destined to develop over time through the contribution of subsequent generations. Since then, the company has accompanied the evolution of the Italian textile and knitwear sector, maintaining a strong focus on the quality of workmanship.
The company is led by Angelo, Luisa and Rosanna Dal Mas, who continue the company path with the aim of combining consolidated skills and production innovation.
The value of know-how
One of the aspects highlighted by the project is the role of manufacturing as a wealth of knowledge and skills. In the case of knitwear, the quality of the product comes from the integration of technical experience, attention to details and the ability to interpret the needs of a constantly evolving market.
In fact, the creation of a garment requires a succession of production phases in which advanced technologies and manual interventions contribute to the final result in a complementary way.
Tradition and innovation
The article also highlights how many Italian manufacturing companies have faced technological transformation without sacrificing the skills that characterize craftsmanship.
Even in the knitwear sector, innovation represents a tool to improve precision, efficiency and quality control, while keeping the contribution of people and their skills central.
Training and territory
Particular attention is paid to the relationship with the territory and to professional training. The collaboration with schools, universities and specialized institutes contributes to the dissemination of technical skills that represent an important resource for the future of Made in Italy.
The continuity of this knowledge is in fact one of the most relevant issues for the manufacturing sector, called upon to encourage generational turnover and the enhancement of professionalism.
A look at the future of manufacturing
The inclusion in the “Journey in the Factories of Beauty” project offers an opportunity to reflect on the role of manufacturing companies in the preservation and evolution of Italian production skills.
Through the story of companies belonging to different sectors, the initiative highlights how tradition, innovation and training can contribute to keeping a culture of doing alive, that continues to represent one of the distinctive elements of the Italian production system.

Education to sustainability
