Italian company Fulgar buys Pompea factory – Both brands operate successfully in Zrenjanin

Fulgar, a trademark of Italian quality and an international leader in the production of innovative artificial yarns, has bought Pompea, a well positioned legwear and underwear brand.

Both brands operate successfully in Zrenjanin, where they have facilities in the industrial zones.

– This is a fully Italian operation, as the seat of Fulgar, which has a turnover of over EUR 200 million, is located in Castel Goffredo, in the heart of the legwear manufacturing region. Fulgar is recognized as the largest manufacturer of the super-quality 6.6 nylon and is the European distributor of the LYCRA brand. It is one of the first companies in the textile sector to start taking sustainable development into consideration. For over ten years, Fulgar has been implementing an all-encompassing “green program”, while constantly increasing its portfolio of environmentally friendly products. On the other hand, Pompea is a well known brand and a large production concern in the Province of Mantua. With an annual turnover of EUR 70 million, it owns and manages direct distribution of the Roberta women's underwear brand – Fulgar says in an official press release.

– The acquisition is part of the project which aims to help the re-establishment of the central role and leadership in the region where legwear is manufactured, in the European market of legwear and underwear. This way, in part, the recognizable Italian character of the brand is protected. We believe that this operation will benefit the entire region. We will work on maintaining our market share – says Fulgar CEO Attilia Casnici, as reported by zrenjaninski.com.

Pompea has made a statement as well.

– In the past months, there have also been Asian investors and international funds who were interested in making an acquisition. My family and I have deep roots in this region and we are delighted that Pompea remains Italian. We have thereby saved the future of the brand and our employees' jobs – points out Alessandro Rodella, the owner of Pompea.
