        <\/p>\n

        WEGAL & TRICOTEL utilises an exacting monitoring system for every single production stage, starting from yarn choice, knitting procedure, dyeing and finishing; at the end, every single meter is strictly inspected before delivery to the client.<\/p>\n

        Moreover, new articles are tested for all quality parameters, e.g. colour analysis with spectrophotometry, dimensional stability, colour fastness and elongation features.<\/p>\n

        WEGAL & TRICOTEL was one of the first elastic fabric producers to detain a certificate of full compliance to the OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 (RDP N. 953035 O).<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n\t\t \t<\/i>\n\t\t Research<\/span>\n\t\t <\/div>\n\t\t
        <\/p>\n

        A specialised team studies market developments and future colour trends. From this research new articles and colour cards are created to inspire<\/strong> our client’s stylists in the preparation of their own collections.<\/p>\n

        The continuous research and experimentation of new yarns, new structures and new finishings allow WEGAL & TRICOTEL to create innovative fabrics<\/strong>, to anticipate fashion and market trends.<\/p>\n

        Moreover, the technical department actively cooperates with clients in order to develop new fabrics, particularly studied to meet specific requirements. From this cooperation<\/strong> specific fabrics are created and offered in exclusivity for that particular client for an agreed period.<\/p>\n

        A fully equipped laboratory with dedicated knitting machines and small dyeing autoclaves for testing allow to produce small pilot productions<\/strong>, to verify the experimental input from technical department, in order to guarantee the commercialisation of new fabrics only after carrying out all suitable quality controls.<\/p>\n
