At Performance Days, the leading trade fair for high performance fabrics which will be taking place from 20-21 April in Munich, Brugnoli, the leading Italy based producer of stretch knit jersey for swimwear, lingerie, fashion, sports and athleisure, will present a product range for two of its collections for sportswear, featuring two special fibres developed by the company’s long-lasting partner Fulgar.

The leader in hi-tech fibres production with a strong R&D oriented approach, Fulgar aims to offer new products to create original solutions, such as the recently launched 100% biological fibre EVO and the exclusive SPACE 3.0 mélange, chosen by Brugnoli respectively for the Br4 and Blend collections.

With a special focus on the environment and sustainability, Brugnoli was the first, as of November last year, to realise a bio-based fabric collection, featuring the new fibre EVO by Fulgar in its Br4 collection. “Today, Br4 collection is powered by new weights and structures: piquet, meshes, jacquard, and more, all made with the new fibre EVO by Fulgar that guarantees zero compromises between environment and performances,” the company reports.

With 100% biological origins, Fulgar's innovative EVO fibre boasts properties that include lower specific weight, excellent heat insulation performance, quick-drying, maximum breathability, bacteriostatic action and odour control, providing outstanding comfort, unique performance and intense respect for nature, according to the manufacturer.

With the launch of Br4, Brugnoli says it is making another step further in respect of the environment, both via choosing EVO by Fulgar, and by applying the production process that is said to lower the CO2 emissions by at least 20% and reduce water waste, compared to the standard process.

Blend collection by Brugnoli is using the special yarn SPACE 3.0 by Fulgar, the company’s latest innovation for achieving mélange effects that allow to create multiple colours combinations. Obtained through Fulgar’s exclusive All-in-One technology, with a unique controlled and continuous one-step process, SPACE 3.0 is a uniform mélange yarn with three threads on a black or white base.

Thanks to the innovative SPACE by Fulgar, Brugnoli Blend collection revises the classical mélange. The outcome is a colour explosion offering countless customisations. More than 80 proposals are available to create the ideal mix for a various kind of garment.

Brugnoli Blend fabrics also take advantage of the Lycra Sport fibre technology, which combines muscle support and freedom of movement and was engineered specifically for sporting activities.

Brugnoli have travelled on these tracks for sixty years with the mission of 80 people working in the factories and in the group's offices, for years, set on two concepts: technology and flexibility. The meticulous technical research produces more than 3 million meters of fabric for the best names in international fashion.
