A major milestone in the Marzoli
journey was its acquisition by the
Camozzi Group. With its presence
in 74 countries, this group is well
known in the pneumatics and ma-
chine tools business worldwide.
In early 1999, the Camozzi Group
entered the textile machinery in-
dustry with its buying into Marzoli
SpA, and there has been no looking
back. With the spirit of enterprise
and fnancial strength of this group,
Marzoli is poised to achieve path-
breaking milestones.
One of these is the decision to
have its presence in India by set-
ting up a modern manufacturing
plant. The plant is expected to roll
out the frst machines in the second
quarter of 2012. This development
will be closely watched by the tex-
tile industry in India which is eager
to adopt high end technologies of its
counterparts in other countries.
Striking gold at ITMA
At ITMA 2011, Marzoli signed
two deals with an Argentinian and
an Indian company. TN & Platex,
based in Argentina, has placed an
order for 100,000 spindles. Owned
by the Karagozian family it was
founded 30 years ago from a small
spinning plant with a monthly ca-
pacity of 150 tons of OE yarn. Now
it is the leading textile company in
Argentina and one of the most im-
portant in South America, with sev-
en plants employing 2,000 people.
Delivery of Marzoli’s new ring
spinning frame MDS1, together
with the roving frame, FT6D, to TN
& Platex will begin early next year.
The second deal which is more
relevant to India is for a complete
line of 25,000 spindles to produce
denim yarn.
An important contribution of
Marzoli has been in the feld of
denim. This segment was getting
increasingly competitive with yarn
being produced on the open end ma-
chines in the US.
The Italian producers of denim
introduced the concept of ring spun
denim yarn, and Marzoli played an
important role in the development
of denim ring frames with the help
of end users. This led to instant suc-
cess for denim producers in Italy
and subsequently in other countries.
This explains the denim theme
that was prevalent all through the
