Fulgar is the international leader in the synthetic fibre market with the production and distribution of polyamide 6.6 and coated elastomers in the textile and technical sector. Founded in the 1970s at Castel Goffredo (Mantova) in the heart of Italy's hosiery district, Fulgar carved out a role as sector leader and now boasts Europe's largest nylon 6.6 yarn factory. The company's global attitude is
also reflected by the internationalisation strategy launched by Fulgar with the opening of new production centres in Sri Lanka in 2003 and Serbia in 2007, as well as being present in Turkey with the official Fulgar distributor FFT. Fulgar is present in all textile sectors, from hosiery to circular knits, corsetry, swimming and sport, with high-quality products that stand out for their excellence and uniqueness, without ever forgetting the Made in Italy textile tradition. The great versatility of the products is the result of Fulgar's design, development and manufacturing structure, which always remains aware of the look, functionality and comfort clients require. That's why the company is constantly increasing its investment in R&D, with a significant increase in the last three years, in parallel with a deep commitment to environmental issues that takes the form of projects and initiatives involving the entire production process. In 2009 Fulgar became an official partner of INVISTA®, owner of the LYCRA® brand, for the exclusive distribution in Europe and Turkey of the Lycra® Fibre, Lycra T400® and Elaspan® Fibre brands. In 2012 Fulgar also became exclusive distributor and producer of Emana® fibre, owned by the Rhodia-Solvay group, for Europe, North Africa and the Middle East.
