Given the enormity of the textile business and textile finishing, as well as the close contact Limonta enjoys with the world's best operators in fashion and furnishing, the Group is subject to non-stop stimulus and assimilates the development of new product ideas and new products into its daily work routine.

The direct feed-through of information between the clothing, leather, footwear, furnishing and automotive divisions favours cross-fertilisation between the products of the different sectors. The results include: Evento Arredamento, which adopts newly created clothing fabrics as coverings for upholstered furniture; the use of jacquard product lines in leather goods; special micro-fibres developed for car interiors that make their debut in furnishing; the most up-to-date line in home accessories (Society Today), enriched with the very latest trends from leather goods; increasingly sophisticated textile qualities that provide a constant stimulus for automotive-related products.

Additional impetus to this interchange, with its benefits and complex diversity, comes from the close working relationship and daily contact the Group has with premier customers in a variety of industries - fashion, furnishing and, increasingly, car production - and further identifies Limonta as the ideal partner with which to develop new textile projects. Inevitably this demands capital spending on state-of-the-art technology for weaving, textile finishing, and for new processes, such as digital printing for finished products, an area in which Limonta has invested heavily.embarked on the process for securing ISO 14001 certification for ecologically proper conduct.
