The 1950s saw a significant advance in the scale of operations driven by a strategy change in favour of enhancing fabric quality through textile finishing processes. Under this momentum Limonta won recognition as a company that set standards in the area of specialist fabrics, specially processed or otherwise, for use in widely differing sectors - clothing, leather goods, footwear, and furnishings. A feature of this emerging identity was the capability to process, modify, and enhance textile products without ever impairing their naturally inherent qualities.

Since that strategy shift the company has followed a smooth progression marked by a succession of openings in various segments of the clothing market (from fabrics for rainwear, through super-light cotton for casual clothing, to sham-silk nylon). In this way Limonta continues to confirm its know-how and to develop it still further.

Over the last few years the Group, while sustaining its primary commitment to product creativity and innovation, has reinforced its competitive position on international markets. Lately, much work has gone into an extensive rationalisation of production and logistics aimed at better adapting them to the now bigger scale of operations and at delivering a higher standard of service to customers.

Steps taken in this direction include the opening of a new and up-to-date production unit for coating and bonding, a new fabric storage facility as part of the same operation, a new works for the manufacture of flat woven fabrics, and a substantial re-organisation in the firm's traditional core activity of jacquard weaving.

Following this period of major renewal, ending with the modernisation of its head offices and certification awards in respect both of ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, the Group stands well-prepared for the challenges that lie ahead.
