Savio Macchine Tessili is a com-
pany that for 100 years has played
a major role for the development of
Italian textile industry in the world.
Founded in Pordenone, Italy, in
1911 by the entrepreneur Marcello
Savio as a workshop for the produc-
tion of textile components for the
local industry, it is today the world
leader in the feld of yarn fnishing
machines.
Savio now operates worldwide in
the production and marketing of au-
tomatic winders, two-for-one twist-
ers and rotor spinning frames with
manufacturing plants in Italy, China
and India. This evolution was ac-
complished in time by taking as a
point of reference the research and
development, a strong orientation to
the maximum production fexibility
and to maintain high quality stand-
ards. This focus has resulted in a
very strong driving force that led the
company to realize an evolved pro-
duction system to respond quickly
to the demands of the textile indus-
try worldwide.
A certifed quality system ISO
9001-2008 permeates the company
as a whole, offering the market a
wide range of increasingly advanced
textile machines with excellent per-
formances and high reliability. This
market approach also extends to
the network of partner companies
spread worldwide, identifying Savio
as a company constantly close to

Alpha buys Savio Group
Alpha of France has acquired the textile machinery producer
Savio Group from Itema Holding. Alpha is looking to support the
existing management team and to develop the company’s inter-
national presence.
Alpha backed the company because it is well positioned in a
growing market. In the past, Savio has been backed by Intesa
Sanpaolo, which acquired the company in 1995 before it was
sold to Itema Holding.
