COMO, Italy, December,2020 - Epson has announced the establishment of Epson Como Printing Technologies S.r.l.
The company is the result of merging two Group companies, Fratelli Robustelli S.r.l. ("Robustelli") and For.Tex S.r.l. ("For.Tex") who are both Epson Italia subsidiaries operating in the direct-to-fabric (DTF) printing sector.
The company is based in Como province, in the heart of one of the world’s most important textile districts.
The newly formed Epson Como Printing Technologies S.r.l. celebrates the excellence of the Como region in its name.
Epson Como Printing Technologies is the new company name resulting from the incorporation of For.Tex by F.lli Robustelli.
Both leading companies in the “Digital Textile Valley” area of Como, they had been chosen by Epson in the early 2000s as partners for the Monna Lisa project, and were later acquired 100% by Epson Italia, becoming part of the Epson Group.
For.Tex has been for 30 years a trusted provider of dyes thickeners and specialty for printing, both in Italy and overseas, and contributed with the development of the Genesta inks, specifically designed for the Monna Lisa series.
Operating since the 1950s, F.lli Robustelli has always designed and produced photogravure and textile printing machinery and systems, and was responsible for the engineering of the Monna Lisa series on Epson print technology.
The company will develop and provide digital inkjet printers, consumables and services that respond closely to market needs.
Monna Lisa Project
The constant technical challenges presented by clients, combined with both companies’ commitment to remaining always up-to-date in their role as leaders in technological evolution, led to the creation of Monna Lisa, a brand known today throughout the global textile industry as a reference standard in digital printing on fabrics.
With the creation of Epson Como Printing Technologies, the Epson Group consolidates its leadership in industrial digital textile printing, combining Italian textile experience with the best Japanese ink jet technology.
