A renowned specialist in natural fibers such as linen, cotton, and hemp, Crespi1797 produces 4 million meters of fabric every year and exports almost 70 percent of it to every corner of the globe.

It is a global leader in high quality linen and in the finest quality Italian hemp. All of its raw materials are from Europe and are of the highest quality available. Crespi1797 proudly displays its certificate from the prestigious Masters of Linen association.

Its close association to the land has also made the company uniquely qualified to represent the best connotations of its “Made in Italy” label.

Almost from the beginning, Crespi textile production has been intimately linked with nature. The founders harnessed water-driven power from a nearby canal. This awareness for the environment has been passed down through the years so that today, the company produces more than enough power for its entire production process and sells the 70 percent excess electricity to the national grid.

As manager of one of the most famous and successful textile companies in Europe, Francesca Crespi feels that Crespi179’s key to success has been its passion for quality and a culture of pragmatism. “You have to be open but focused,” she comments. “In our family it is important to follow your goals.”
