« The labor is not the labor for us, for me the labor is my family because it is a 4th generation company, in a small village, so all the people that are working with me are living 20 km from the company. There is workers, their grand grand father was working with my grand grand father. So I cannot do anything unsafe for them. »

Since its founding in 1887 in Bovolenta, Berto has continued its production in the place it was born. Over the decades, research, know-how and an ability to follow changing markets have elevated the company to a central role in the Made in Italy denim production chain. At Berto, sustainability is closely linked to R&D, which is why all its production processes have been redesigned and improved, with, for example, the use of organic cotton and cotec® yarns, natural indigo, high energy-efficient looms (energy savings of 81 tons of CO2 a year), LED lighting systems, eco-finishings, and more. The company has a certified biological sewage treatment plant.
