The Fully Traceable Supply Chain at Beste is powered by the Rieter

A full Rieter ring spinning equipment has been ordered by the forward-thinking Italian textile manufacturer Beste Spa. Together with automation and digitisation tools, the most recent Rieter technology will help Beste in establishing a local textile production method in Italy with the goal of creating the best possible quality for luxury brands. The ITACO initiative, which aims to establish a supply chain for Italian cotton that is entirely traceable and organic, includes this investment as a major element.

Beste and Rieter have agreed to provide the newest Rieter technology, including a full ring spinning system, to the recently established spinning mill, FILUM S.R.L., in Bergamo, Italy. In the ITACO project, this is a crucial phase. This includes all stages of the production of cotton, from the creation of clothing in the Prato area to the spinning of cotton in Bergamo and the growing of organic cotton in southern Italy. Because everything is completed within a few hundred km, Beste’s supply chain is completely transparent and offers unrivalled control over sustainability and quality.

From fiber preparation to winding, the new spinning mill will be exclusively equipped with the latest Rieter technology. With the fully electronic ring spinning machine G 38, equipped with the compacting device COMPACTapron, Beste produces combed compacted yarn that meets the highest standards required for its ITACO collection.

The all-in-one digital mill management system ESSENTIAL connects data throughout Beste’s new spinning mill, giving the company a comprehensive view of all relevant performance indicators from bale to package. The piecing robot that is completely automatic ROBOspin ensures consistent performance of the ring spinning machines and minimizes personnel deployment. The fully automated roving bobbin transport
system SERVOtrail Direct further reduces personnel requirements as no manual bobbin transport is needed.

Beste CEO Giovanni Santi says: “We work with partners that share our values and principles. Our need for the best quality is satisfied by Rieter machines, which also allow us to create yarns for our clothing that perfectly capture the style and quality of hallmarks of ITACO, our unique, fully traceable Italian cotton project.”

“We are honoured that Beste has selected our technology to accelerate their growth momentum,” says Roger Albrecht, Head of the Rieter Business Group Machines & Systems. This entire Italian system is a fantastic fit for our ring spinning system. production chain, advancing the goal of the ITACO initiative to produce sustainable, high-quality clothing.
