We guarantee competitiveness and productive capacity

We want to stay one step ahead. Along with our customers! The LeMur experience began in 1997 and has always stood out for its speed, quality and innovation. Making and working with yarn is a profession that’s all about invisible details, requiring attentive organisation and ongoing investment in the best technologies. Our passion is inspired by the specific history of our area: Ala, a community that became famous all over Europe for its silk, destined for the Hapsburg courts, from the late Renaissance until the advent of modern yarns.

THE VALUES INSPIRING US

Customization

We are our customers’ right arm, giving concrete form to their ideas. We customized our yarns, integrating ever-new functions that can be adapted to respond to all kinds of needs and create fantastic products.

Innovation

We use the latest technologies, focusing on quality and efficiency without giving up simplicity. We aim to model tomorrow with our work, creating new prospects and opportunities.

Sustainability

We have reduced our impact on the environment with zero CO2 emissions from our production lines. We promote use of renewable energy, and we choose reusable or recyclable packaging. Because the planet can’t wait, and neither can we.
