Our Company history

FILATURA ASTRO

Filatura Astro was established in 1956 and was, at the beginning, a traditional carding mill specialized in the manufacturing of regenerated coloured yarn.

THE VISIT OF RAI AT THE FILATURA

The firm has always been managed by Gaslini and Mosca families and they started soon exporting abroad its yarn. During the 80s the Open-End machinery was added to the traditional spinning but only at the beginning of the 90s, Filatura Astro decided to bet exclusively on open-end technology.
Nowadays Filatura Astro is equipped with the most innovative machinery from the technological point of view. All the manufacturing steps, from tearing to spinning are carried out in-house.
Flexible and scrupulous to quality, Filatura Astro is able to offer a wide range of yarns, both for typology and yarn count.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

Filatura Astro has been manufacturing over the last sixty years regenerated yarns obtained from pre-dyed cotton and wool scraps sorted by colour, creating 100% Made in Italy and eco-sustainable products. All the manufacturing steps, from tearing to spinning are carried out in-house. Flexible and scrupulous to quality, Filatura Astro is able to offer a wide range of yarns, both for typology and yarn count with a relevant water, energy and chemical colors saving.
