Lanzi Nastrificio

LANZI NASTRIFICIO produces high quality elastics and ribbons for the fashion industry. The company is based in the Tuscan city of Sansepolcro, birthplace of 15th Century painter Piero della Francesca, whose colors have always inspired our creativity. The company was founded in 1976 by Francesco Lanzi as a small factory of elastic for braces. His son Enzo soon brings new techniques into the weaving process and expands the range of products with ribbons and elastics for shoes, leather goods, luggage, belts and clothes. In few years LANZI NASTRIFICIO’s ribbons become renowned also abroad and nowadays more than 50% of our turnover is made by export. The cooperation with international luxury brands becomes more and more frequent and this inspires the creation of customized products with sparkling details, shiny and metalized surfaces, embossed prints and innovative raw materials. Our research aims to constantly increase the quality of our production; for this reason our technicians are aided by groundbreaking technologies to prevent production defects, check the continuity of the raw materials and stabilize the yarn tension. We do all this keeping our environmental responsibility in mind: our factory is powered by solar energy and has a brand new high-efficiency roof cover which helps lower carbon emissions.
