Italian Card Clothing Manufacturing Since 1879
BIOTTI's history began in 1879 when Giovanni Biotti established a workshop in Intra, Italy, for manufacturing flexible card clothing.
The business developed alongside the Italian textile industry, introducing improvements in carding accessories and production technology.
In 1910, Giovanni Biotti patented a special handle for hand-cleaning cards.
During the following decades, the company expanded its manufacturing capacity and developed specialized equipment for producing and finishing card clothing.
In 1931, a new manufacturing facility was established in Intra, which remains associated with the company's industrial operations.
BIOTTI subsequently expanded into international markets and developed a distribution network serving textile manufacturers around the world.
In 2015, the company adopted the BIOTTI Card Clothing name and updated its corporate identity.
Today, BIOTTI continues to specialize in carding and textile finishing components.
