Who we are - Rifinizione Alan S.p.A.

The wide variety and modernity of our machinery, combined with the professionalism of our staff, make us one of the most capable companies in delivering innovative finishing processes for both woven and knitted fabrics, fully meeting the required quality and environmental standards.

Rifinizione ALAN S.p.A. was established in 1978 through the reorganization of the family business, “Lanificio Figli di Giovanni Menichetti,” a historic Prato-based full-cycle company founded in the 1920s. It was completely destroyed by the Nazi-fascists in 1944 before the city’s liberation and was promptly rebuilt with the help of the workforce in 1945-1946.

In the 1980s, Francesco Menichetti, Giovanni’s son, took over the dyeing and finishing department. Together with his wife Fiorenza and their young children Andrea and Alessandro, he began working as a third-party provider.

In 1984, the company was relocated from its historic headquarters on Via Favini to the modern industrial area of Macrolotto 1, at Via Toscana 14.

In 1991, the merger with another family business, Sopritex S.p.A., resulted in the formation of the current company structure.

The plant covers an area of approximately 13,000 m² and employs over 95 staff members.

Its production capacity is around 10 tons/day.
