Pontex Srl: high quality fabric for clothing, since 1972
More than fifty years and two generations of expertise in customising and ennobling fabrics for clothing
Letizia Ferretti, CEO Pontex Srl
About us
Pontex was born in Emilia-Romagna, in Modena (Italy), a territory in which excellence is a trade mark. It was founded in 1972 by Pio Ferretti, self-made man from Modena who realised his dream as a young seller in the weekly street markets in the Eighties: placing himself in the field of fabric ennobling.
If at the very beginning we focused on fast fashion, we then started to develop a wide proposal of fabrics for clothing in order to meet the market needs, through the two annual Collections, Spring-Summer and Autumn-Winter. This is how our expansion all over the world started and Pontex has become one of the best-known realities in the field of the woven fabric for the Made in Italy.
Today Pontex is led by Letizia Ferretti, CEO and managing director, who has developed, with passion and tenacity, an international vocation and extended our commercial net up to include Italy, Europe, USA, China, Korea, Japan, Turkey, Tunisia Maghreb.
