Ep. 44: EFI Reggiani
The fourth industrial revolution is underway, and the world of textile & apparel is just one industry that is benefitting from new and innovative technologies. With this in mind, for this series I’ll be talking to companies across the textile & apparel landscape about their new technologies, the benefits of digitalisation, and the advice that they’d give to others who are trying to implement such solutions.
In this first episode, WTiN’s Industry Digitalisation editor Madelaine Thomas and I talk with Micol Gamba, marketing and product manager at EFI Reggiani.
Founded in 1948 and acquired by US-based global wide-format-printing giant EFI in 2015, EFI Reggiani is a leading manufacturer of digital textile printing solutions. In fact, the company delivers an overall solution for the whole textile process, from yarn treatment to fabric printing and finishing. Overall, it designs, manufactures, sells and services high-quality machines across the globe for a wide variety of substrates and applications, including fashion, home textiles, sportswear, signage, flooring, automotive, and outdoor.
In this podcast, Gamba talks about how inkjet is helping to lead the way when it comes to digitalisation and the impact that new technologies are having on reshoring, business models and sustainability. What's more, she talks about how the company has adapted to Covid-19, the key drivers of digitalisation in the sector, and the main challenges that the company faces.
