Born from the desire of Itema Group – leading producer of advanced weaving solutions including weaving machines, OEM spare parts and integrated services – to create an incubator of advanced innovation and dedicate a pool of specialists to the development of avant-garde weaving solutions, Itemalab® was inaugurated in May 2014 at the Kilometro Rosso Innovation District in Bergamo, chosen as site precisely because of its vocation as a place of exchange and contamination of ideas and projects among realities of excellence in the industrial, IT and academic fields.
Over the last few years, Itemalab® has developed important innovations which, in addition to bringing significant added value for weavers all over the world, established new performance benchmarks for the entire sector.
From 2021 Itemalab® redefines its boundaries, expanding its perspectives and widening the field of action thanks to the twin divisions Textile and Industrial, and providing customers and partners with system engineering and business process re-engineering skills.
With a team made up by 70 engineers and specialized professionals, in its new structure as independent company, the Textile division of Itemalab® will continue to respond to the innovation needs of Itema Group and of the whole textile industry, while the new Industrial division will, instead, become the reference point for all the industrial companies looking for a partner of excellence to study advanced solutions to digitalize and reshape industrial products and processes.
