Where Innovation and Sustainability Go Hand in Hand: Extris

02 October 2024: Daniele De Rosa, Founder & CEO at Extris, the Italian Manufacturer of Technical Fabrics Shares his Vision for the Company and Latest Developments taking Place. Extris is an Italian manufacturer of technical fabrics used for the production of screen printing stretched frames or to produce high precision and fine micrometer filters. The company consists of a weaving department with highly sophisticated looms and a fabrication department where high-tech machines are used.

I founded Extris in 2008 after a decade of experience at the helm of another technical fabric manufacturing firm. Extris set out to become an effective alternative to the products present on the market at that time which, despite being all the same, tried to appear different by adopting names that suggested use for specific applications.

Among these, following stand out above all:

• Filtration (automotive, household appliances, food, medical, chemical industry)
• Screen printing (glass and ceramics, textiles, decorative graphics, electronics)
• Agribusiness
• Medical.

The economic crisis of 2009-2010 brought about the closure of several competitors, and Extris acquired part of Tecnotessile in Appiano Gentile and Wängi Mesh AG in Wängi (CH), quickly achieving international size as a company.

The headquarters of Extris Italia is located in Colverde, in the heart of the renowned Como area, where weaving plays a fundamental role for the community. This location not only inspires us daily with its natural beauty, but also represents our commitment to sustainability and support for the local area.

Nestled in a natural park, our headquarters offers a unique working environment that stimulates innovation. Working in harmony with nature contributes to a positive and productive company culture. Extris offers work to the inhabitants of the area, contributing to the economic and social well-being of the area. We actively participate in local initiatives to support and enhance our region.

Living in such a natural area, we are constantly pushed to operate as sustainably as possible; while the strategic location of our headquarters allows us to be at the forefront of research and development, offering innovative and high-quality solutions to our customers. Colverde’s serene and stimulating environment helps us maintain the highest standards of excellence in our products and services.

Finally, we are deeply connected to the local community and are committed to contributing positively to the sustainable development of the region.

Our international expansion is a testament to our commitment to providing advanced and sustainable solutions worldwide. In Turkey and Germany, we continue to maintain the same high standards of quality and innovation that characterise Extris.

With offices in three countries, we are able to collaborate globally, exchanging knowledge and technologies to continuously improve our products and services.

With Extris, innovation and sustainability go hand in hand, not only in Italy, but also in Turkey and Germany. Subsequent to these events, Extris also built up its filter fabricating operations by adopting technologies such as hot and laser cutting, hot sealing, ultrasonic and radiofrequency sealing, large pantograph cutting and automatic die-cutting.

Finally, in 2020, in response to the government’s requests, Extris developed a range of devices for respiratory tract protection. A so-called “clean room” was set up for the production of medical devices. The company has obtained ISO 13485 certification and is actively contributing to the fight against the pandemic.

At the end of 2020, the international presence of Extris fabrics and filters was further strengthened with the opening of the branch in Istanbul (TR).
