Dyeing Dept.
Tintalana, true to the Biella textile tradition, specializes in the dyeing of wool tops (including shrink-resistant treated wool) and natural animal fibers such as cashmere, alpaca, vicuña, and mohair.
The service stands out for its quality and speed, operating as an extension of its clients’ facilities, prestigious Italian and international brands.
Spinning Dept.
Tintalana produces worsted yarns in pure wool, blends, and fine fibers, either undyed or dyed, with counts ranging from Nm 1/20 to 2/140, using exclusively condensation spinning technology.
The company operates both on its own account and on behalf of third parties, also offering medium and small dyed batches on request, with fast delivery times and its own range ofstock colors.
Tintalana was founded in 2010 as a textile brokerage and consulting company. In 2012, however, its founder and owner, Antony De Rocco, decided to take on a demanding and ambitious challenge by leasing—and later acquiring—the operations of a major Biella-based textile company in financial difficulty.
These operations included the production division of the Dyeing Department, as well as the organizational and commercial activities of the Spinning Division. For several years, the latter relied on a foreign subcontractor, which was later acquired.
In this way, Tintalana, though a “young” company, was able to benefit from commercial and technical know-how with roots dating back to the 1930s.
In 2024, with a view to improving the management of a sustainable supply chain, the decision was made to bring the spinning activity back to Italy, specifically to the Biella area, a region renowned worldwide for the production of wool textiles for apparel.
Today, thanks to a workforce of around sixty employees, Tintalana carries out its dyeing operations in Sagliano Micca and its spinning operations in Masserano, where the administrative offices are also located.
