TBM Group: 80 Years of Italian Textile Excellence, Blending Heritage, Innovation, and Modern Vision

Founded in 1946 in Besnate, near Varese, TBM Group is one of Italy’s most established textile companies. Originally set up as a contract weaving business by Bruno Marcora, the company grew quickly, specialising in cotton production and becoming a key player by the 1970s, when Franco Marcora, Bruno’s son, joined the business. It was during this period that TBM started building an ambitious industrial strategy, creating a fully vertical production chain — 100% Made in Italy — capable of overseeing every stage of manufacturing.

Today, TBM stands for excellence in high-end fabrics for clothing, offering a wide range of materials from cotton and linen to luxurious blends with wool, silk, and cashmere. Known for a strong tailoring approach and constant innovation in finishing techniques, TBM develops fabrics that enhance the feel, appearance, and performance of the final garment. Their technical and creative experimentation makes every TBM fabric a powerful tool for brands looking for quality, character, and timeless style.

Denim remains one of TBM’s signature specialties: crafted with fine yarns and featuring a rare piece-dyeing technique using indigo, their denim fabrics achieve unique shades of blue that change with garment washing. It’s a perfect blend of tradition and innovation, always staying true to its authentic spirit.

The TBM Group’s expertise also extends to corduroy production, fully managed in-house — from weaving to cutting to final finishing. Alongside corduroys, TBM offers a selection of premium shirting fabrics: compact, brilliantly designed, and carefully constructed to meet the needs of modern elegance.

TBM Group will be featured at the upcoming edition of Denim by Première Vision, showcasing not only its leadership in luxury denim but also its fresh, contemporary take on the world of cotton and linen fabrics.
