STE La Stireria provides textile finishing and quality services for major luxury fashion houses. Stefania Marana has led its development by changing how the business is organized.
European textile manufacturing has faced reduced production, changes in international supply chains, tighter sustainability requirements from fashion groups and closer scrutiny of working conditions. During that difficult period, Stefania chose to revise the company’s operating model.
Generational succession
Keeping the skills built over decades while preparing for change required more than new pressing equipment. Generational succession became the occasion to reorganize the business.
The aim was a more efficient, digital and transparent company, able to work directly with international luxury groups.
Keeping work and responsibility in-house
Alongside garment finishing, an industrial textile service needs to provide:
- lot traceability across all processing stages;
- internal quality control measures;
- quick, dependable delivery;
- centralized electronic compliance records;
- verifiable social and ethical workplace standards;
- compliance with luxury brands’ supplier codes.
STE La Stireria kept all finishing operations in-house, avoiding untraceable subcontracting and retaining direct responsibility toward clients, staff and the community.
Procedures for working conditions
Sustainability includes how people are treated. The company developed procedures for social compliance, prevention of labor exploitation, worker protection and operational transparency. These support the business over the long term.
Leading organizational change
Stefania made difficult decisions while working to retain the company’s identity. Her approach connects innovation and organization with quality and social responsibility. It shows how a traditional manufacturer can compete through the way it works and adapts.
