Our History
It was 1977, when Mario Rossin, born 1937, decided to embark on what would become an entrepreneurial adventure capable of generating new jobs and an innovative and indispensable range of products for personal protection in the workplace. At the time, disposables had just made their appearance and no one would have thought that they could be applied to work clothes.
Originally from Veneto, Mario had moved to Corbetta after getting married and was working for an important company when he had the idea that would turn his life around: manufacturing disposable work clothes with materials already available on the market. In the basement-garage of his house in Corbetta, he set up a workshop where he started experimenting to transform a dream into something tangible.
Rudimentary “research and development” fuelled by conviction, determination and a lot of patience resulted in the creation of the initial prototypes. Disposable clothes were not a mirage, but something that was feasible, at reasonable costs, and, above all, had a market. But that basement was too small, overfilled, not suitable to host a start-up company. Thus Indutex was born.
STEADY GROWTH
With humility and passion, the company has grown incessantly over the years and now provides work for 500 employees abroad and ca. 60 at the plant in Corbetta.
Corbetta, the pulsating heart and the head of a project that extends its arms to the world: the production plants are in Romania and Tunisia, but Indutex products are sold throughout the world.
Mario, a hardworking and dedicated entrepreneur, has always regarded the company as his second family. When the time came to retire he passed on the reins to his son Paolo, but not a day went by without his presence being noticed. The first to arrive, a walk through the company, a word to the employees, a point of reference and a firm guide, until his death in 2019.
His memory remains alive in the principles and teachings on which Indutex was built: not just attention to employees and products, with a focus on quality and finishing, but also attention to the surrounding context.
Indutex supportes many local realities and volunteer associations. Values and principles, besides work and production.
The dream can go on, with new, more and more ambiious goals, but without forgetting the basement where Mario, late into the evening, created his first prototypes.
