About us
CAMPIONTEX was founded in 1977 by a group of business men, with a vision to establish a new company in the textile industry. Over the years, the company has quickly progressed as sampling solution specialists, focusing in the design and production of high-quality sample cards and color charts. Driven by an unrivalled experience, intuition and continuous innovation, CAMPIONTEX has achieved high standards of excellence in the production and impactful presentation of sampling collections, enhancing the brand’s market impact.
With over forty years‘ history, Campiontex has established itself as a trusted partner of many top brands, delivering the highest quality solutions for processing yarns, fabrics, ribbons, paper, and other materials. This reputation has been built thanks to meticulously handcrafted, attention to detail, and to continuous innovation improvements. The first family generation have carefully carried forward the family’s heritage by investing in innovate technologies and advanced manufacturing expertise. Supported by a long-standing experienced team, with remarkable handcrafted knowledge, they continue upholding the advanced company’s quality standards.
Subsequently, there was a significant turning point that marks a significant change in the company’s history: one of the key members of the long-standing, highly experienced team, together with her brother, took over Campiontex, combining expert advice and guidance for new ideas and projects. Today, under the leadership of Anna and Piero Zattera, Campiontex continues to be the trusted partner within the marketplace for many leading companies. While preserving the core values and craftsmanship that have always distinguished the business, the company has expanded to other sectors such as ribbon manufacturer, furniture, footwear, and other specialized industries.
The transfer of ownership to the Zattera family has allowed Campiontex to renew and strengthen its business while remaining true to its roots, by preserving its commitment to quality and embracing continuous innovation. The company has established itself as a trusted reference in the industry for more than 40 years.
AN INFINITE CRAFT
The creation of the first textile samples dates back to 1628 (State Archive of Milan, Government Acts, Ancient Trade, cart.145). At first glance, the sample book of a fabric manufacturer presents itself roughly like a large book, filled with fabric scraps and written notes on paper that testify to the offerings of a company to its potential customers. Over the years, a close connection between technique, sociological perception of tastes, and creative research has clearly emerged. Thus, the historical process of development and use of samples becomes evident, whose function does not seem to have changed, but rather the support and operational methodologies.
CAMPIONTEX has been highlighting and enhancing the “know-how” of fabric and color folders since 1977, respecting the manufacturing tradition of Vicenza while combining it with the modern requirements of the textile sector.
