History
Italy was once the world’s largest producer of hosiery. Over the years, however, competition from emerging countries has grown stronger, and only a few companies are still able to manufacture in Italy, mostly concentrated in the industrial districts of Mantova and Brescia (Production District No. 6 Castel Goffredo – Textile – Hosiery).
Boggiani Renato SRL is located precisely in Production District No. 6, an area with a rich manufacturing history dating back to 1925, when the first hosiery factory, NO.E.MI., opened in Castel Goffredo producing cotton, and later silk, stockings. Its closure in the late 1950s gave rise to a district with a myriad of small enterprises, shaping the strong industrial tradition we see today.
40 Years of Passion and Innovation
In the heart of Castel Goffredo, once known as the “international center of hosiery,” a small workshop called Officina Gamma was founded in 1981. Here, the art of sewing meets mechanical precision, creating a tradition that has lasted for over 40 years.
Dedication quickly turned into growth: in 1988, Ditta Boggiani Renato was established with a larger facility and additional machinery to meet the growing demand for spare parts. During this period, the founder became a practical instructor, training the next generation of technicians and contributing to the first industry textbooks.
By 1996, a new independent facility allowed for further expansion of the machine park and staff. The company began performing revisions on Takatori machines and hosiery machinery, becoming a reference point for technical assistance in hosiery and custom metalworking services.
In 2009 and 2012, the arrival of Francesco and Alice brought new energy, innovation, and expertise, strengthening the metalworking division. Every project became a custom solution, designed and manufactured to meet the specific needs of each client.
2015 marked a new milestone: a modern facility of over 3,000 m², where technical assistance for hosiery is combined with metalworking and textile machinery workshops. Innovations, patents, and unique projects were developed to meet the most specific customer requests.
In 2019, MOCA certification opened doors to the food industry, enabling the company to create fully customized machinery for multiple production sectors.
By 2021, Boggiani Renato SRL celebrated 40 years of activity, professional growth, and achievements, always looking forward to new objectives and future milestones.
Commitment to the Environment
Environmental respect has always been a core value of the company. A renewable energy system helps reduce the impact of our operations.
But sustainability is not just technology: the owner, a long-time advocate of environmental responsibility, extended this commitment in a symbolic and practical way. The company hosts a small colony of bees, a symbol of life and nature, reminding us daily that “Without bees, there is no life.”
All packaging used for company needs is recycled or reused, reducing waste and giving materials a second life in the packaging of our products for sale.
Through these initiatives, Boggiani Renato SRL demonstrates that innovation, production, and environmental care can coexist harmoniously, making sustainability an integral part of our philosophy and a responsibility toward the community.
