Candiani’s Micro Factory Wins ITMA Sustainability Award

Italian denim manufacturer Candiani Denim has been recognized with the ITMA Sustainable Innovation award for its Milanese micro factory, the first facility of its kind in a major city.

Opened in 2020, the vertical micro factory covers all steps of garment production—from cutting and sewing to treating and washing—in a scaled-down space that is open to the public. The Candiani Custom project creates custom-made denim to order. Not only does this model enable consumers to build the personalized jeans they want, but it also reduces waste since garments are only made on-demand.
