Storia cittadini 1933

1933

The history of Cittadini spa began in 1933, the year in which Cesare Cittadini founded the Retificio Moderno Cesare Cittadini in Sulzano, an artisan workshop for the mechanized production of fishing nets with knot, a typical activity characterizing Lake Iseo, which became part of its history, economy and culture.

1962-1972

The company was subsequently organized at an industrial level by his son Giovanni, who took over in 1962, who integrated it with a braiding and rope plant (FA. R.CO) and later expanded it, opening in 1972 a new headquarters in Marone (C.R.C.), for the weaving of knot nets.

Storia cittadini 1980

1980s

The rapid and constant development of the Retificio in the Sulzano and Marone offices made it necessary in 1980 to transfer the plants to a very modern complex in Paderno Franciacorta in the province of Brescia (12,000 square meters covered on an area of 45,000 square meters), for an effective logistical rationalization. At the same time, the company is structured in joint-stock company and takes the name of Cittadini spa.
In the new headquarters in Paderno Franciacorta, the production capacity of knot and knotless nets is further verticalized and strengthened with the inclusion of new frames, twisters and a dyeing plant capable of dyeing both nets and yarns.

90's

Thanks to the excellent know-how acquired in the processing and dyeing of synthetic fibers, the production of yarns is extended to the sectors of industrial sewing, technical yarns for weaving, ribbon factories and other industrial uses. In this perspective, the company Filtec was founded in Paderno F.C., which deals with the packaging and distribution of sewing in the clothing, leather goods and footwear sectors.

2000s

In 2000 the processing of braids for footwear was integrated with the acquisition of the TREVI company based in Vigevano, to complete the offer of sewing yarns, sold both in industrial packaging and in King spools and flanged spools. At that time, the same company Filtec is incorporated into Cittadini spa, which becomes the only manufacturer and distributor of industrial sewing on the target markets.​​​​​

Recent years have seen Cittadini spa conquer new markets and consolidate its presence abroad, in particular in the aquaculture sector, where it becomes one of the first world players.
