It is 1982 when Gilberto Rossi decides to make his entrepreneurial dream come true: to begin a business in the industry of fabrics and shirt accessories, coupling superior tailoring know-how acquired over the years with a natural instinct for quality and fashion. From the strength of this concept comes Saitt, acronym for “Società Anonima Industriale Trasformazione Tessuti” (Anonymous Tissues Transformation Industrial Company): a name industrial operators are soon acquainted to. 1991 is another milestone year for the group: the Company starts to manufacture its own men’s shirt line.

A refined – medium refined product that requires a workforce of 300 employees and that is instantly appreciated by the market. As a matter of fact, only a year goes by that the number of employees and manufactured items double, making the Company a market leader and creating the conditions for its business to grow, no less nowadays.

While the figures that describe this entrepreneur’s tale are proof enough of its success, the final breakthrough comes between 1995 and 1997: the Company develops and introduces the Mastai Ferretti and G. Ferretti collections and later purchases the historical brand, Truzzi Milano. This business deal allows the Group to set foot in the luxury tier with a product and trademark of absolute excellence: Truzzi is a classic shirt of rare tailoring quality that is recognized and valued by the most exclusive and elite market tiers. Besides this brand, Saitt welcomes the know-how of Luigi Ballini, the owner of the tailor’s boutique, and the staff that has been working for him for years: a precious legacy of knowledge jealously treasured by the new owners.

1998 will thus prove a record year: employees are 900, manufactured items 1,400,000. Saitt is a herald of Italian excellence, capable of coupling the highest quality with impressive manufacturing capacity.

Truzzi Milano, Mastai Ferretti and Agho secure the Company a stable presence in all key market sectors, offering the right solution to the whole spectrum of customers and confirming its global leadership.
