The company was founded in 1983 on the initiative of Alberto Bardazzi: its first name was Alberto Bardazzi Maglia, and its target was the small ready-to-wear fashion shops in Prato. The intuition to dedicate himself completely to knitted fabrics placed the company right from the start in a “protected” market segment, where Alberto’s talent could express itself freely. The products developed in these years are real milestones in the history of textiles, and it is no coincidence that they are also on display in Prato’s textile museum. In 2001, “Il Sole 24 Ore” included Alberto Bardazzi S.r.l. in its list of the best 500 companies in Italy, and this was the highest and most exciting moment in Alberto’s entrepreneurial career: in 2003, as new and increasingly ambitious projects took shape, Alberto left us prematurely after an illness that, unil the end, did not deprive him of the desire to continue creating, designing and surprising. It seems like the end, but instead it is only a new beginning: from the initial difficulties the Bardazzi family draws unexpected energies to continue the industrial activity of the company, an activity that today is managed by a solid and tested working group, and that is proud to have business relations with the whole world. The company celebrated its first 35 years in business in 2018.
