The Story

Beginnings at Lugano Lake: The Story of E.Thomas Woolen Mill

It is the charming Italian shores of Lugano Lake , an ideal location for every creative, that baptizes the E.Thomas mill, founded by Mr. Ernesto Thomas in Brusimpiano in 1922.

 

As the years go by, the company attracts local labor and contributes to the revival of the entire surrounding area, economically depressed especially after the First World War.

 

The destiny of the Thomas family is immediately intertwined with the territory in a happy union: both the local economy and the successes of the woolen mill, managed and administered by the same Thomas family and the Ronchi descendants for 4 generations, flourish together. The company specializes in the production of the highest quality plain and fancy fabrics intended for mainly men's clothing, made from highly selected Australian wools and other most precious natural fibers.
