Monvania : for a successful partnership

Monvania x Jilin Chemical Fiber

成功的合作

Monvania is a company specialized in the processing of continuous yarns, both artificial and synthetic, for the textile industry. It is entirely manufactured in Italy. It is a success story where a small industrial venture created in 1970 without major ambitions has become one of the most important companies in its sector.

They have an important partner, Jilin Chemical Fiber Group, which is one of the most innovative groups in China. This collaboration has offered an extraordinary development opportunity. Luca Livio, General Manager of Monvania, has agreed to answer questions from Airs de Paris magazine.

Monvania是一家专门从事连纱线加工的意大利公司，主要使用人造纤维和合成纤维，为纺织行业提供纱线产品。这是一个成功的故事，一个在1970年成立、最初没有太大野心的小型工业企业，在几十年已经发展成为行业最重要的公司之一。

他们的成功也源于一个重要的合作伙伴，吉林化纤集团，中国最具创新性的集团之一。与吉林化纤的合作为他们带来了非凡的发展机会。 Monvania的总经理卢卡·利维奥接受《巴黎灵感》杂志的独家采访。

Could you introduce your company and its products?

For 50 years, Monvania has been dedicated to enhancing cellulose-based yarns such as viscose, acetate, and cupro, becoming a European leader in continuous filament twisting. In addition to the quality of our processes, we have always recognized the importance of the materials we work with, and we carefully select the most qualified suppliers.

With three operational units and 30,000 productive spindles, we can proudly claim to be a leading producer at the European level.

How did you start working with Jilin Chemical Fiber Group?

Jilin has been a strategic partner for us in supplying viscose filaments for many years. Despite initial market reservations, their success has been consistent, and they now hold the necessary certifications.

What are your thoughts on their product?

Being partners has also meant participating in efforts to promote a viscose production that does not involve the use and cutting down of trees. We have even registered a well-known brand in the European textile industry called ‘Cotton Linter,’ which is based on ecoJilin yarn.

Cotton Linter is a highly sustainable viscose yarn that also offers exceptional qualities in terms of its feel, dyeability, and mechanical performance.

Do you believe sustainable fashion is the future?

There is currently a lot of confusion surrounding the concept of sustainability, and it’s not surprising that this creates a fertile ground for widespread greenwashing activities.

At Monvania, we have always believed that sustainability means responsible technological innovation and a commitment to a supply chain that prioritizes sustainable raw materials and processes.

We focus on delivering actual quality rather than relying solely on certifications. In other words, it’s about substance, not just marketing.

您能介绍一下您的公司和产品吗？

在过去的50年里，Monvania一直致力于生产基于纤维素的纱线，如粘胶纤维、醋酸纤维和铜氨纤维，并成为连续丝线拧制领域的欧洲领导者。除了我们的工艺质量，我们始终认识到与我们合作的材料商的重要性，因此我们精选最有资质的供应商。凭借三个运营单位和30,000个生产锭子，我们非常自豪地成为欧洲该领域的领先企业。

您是如何开始与吉林化纤集团合作的？

吉林化纤集团多年来一直是我们在供应粘胶纤维丝线方面的战略合作伙伴。尽管最初市场存在一些保留意见，但他们的发展一直稳定，并且现在他们生产都已经获得了重要的全球认证。

您对吉林化纤的产品有何看法？

作为合作伙伴，我们参与了推广一种不涉及树木砍伐的粘胶纤维生产的开发。我们甚至在欧洲纺织行业注册了一个知名品牌，名为“Cotton Linter”，它是基于环保的吉林纤维的开发。Cotton Linter是一种高度可持续的粘胶纤维纱线，同时在触感、染色性和机械性能方面也具有出色的品质。

您认为可持续时尚是未来吗？

当前对可持续性概念存在很多混淆，这并不奇怪，这为广泛的绿色洗白活动创造了商业价值。对于Monvania，我们一直认为可持续性意味着负责任的技术创新和致力于优先选择可持续原材料和工艺的供应链。我们专注于提供真正的质量，而不仅仅只是依赖认证。换句话说，这是实质性的行为而不仅仅是为了营销。
