It all started in the '70s with the production of agricultural nets. Price competition brought Cifra to look for more complex products.
In the early 2000s the purchase of the first double needle bar Jacquard machine from Japan.
This new machine gave to Cifra the possibility to shift from the price competition (low cost product) to the uniqueness of the product.
Afterwards the Company’s focus on the development of an amazing style department brought Cifra to be one of the most creative companies in the World.
Cifra quickly became well known in the hosiery field, and soon later also in fashion and sportswear as guarantee of high quality. Nowadays popularity of athleisure as new trend finds Cifra in front line in terms of offer and reliability.
