A step forward that allowed us to consolidate the collaboration with the main interlocutors of the Italian and French fashion brands.   Our values are deeply rooted in a true Italian story of excellence, passed down through generations. For over 90 years, Achille Pinto has embodied creativity, resilience and innovation—honoring its heritage while shaping the future together.

Pinto Archive is where the extraordinary happens: pieces of the past are transformed into new ideas and new forms. The possibilities for new creative forms are constantly evolving, thanks to ongoing acquisitions, such as the recent addition of the Giuseppe Menta collection, a leading figure in the textile industry, which enriches our Archives with new inspirations. A commitment to heritage, combined with a constant desire for innovation, has driven the company to digitize the Archives: our digital table is an innovative tool making possible to explore digitized prints and test them on a specific garment to visualize their performance. This is an extraordinary resource that improves the efficiency of our customers' research.

Achille Pinto is a forerunner of the focus on sustainability that is topical today. Industriousness has been the driving force of this approach, quickly developing practical and green responses to the company’s needs. The first substantial investments in the protection of the ecosystem arrived in the 1990s: Achille Pinto’s journey towards a green economy started early and continues today with ever-increasing commitment. Managing all production steps and implementing a vertical production process allows us to maintain greater control over the sustainability of raw materials and processes, including the disposal of environmentally harmful substances, ultimately resulting in a finished product that aligns with our objectives. We constantly invest in latest-generation machinery and technologies and in the development of know-how to create products that stand out. Innovation concerns the different printing processes but also the finishing techniques and weaving, which combines the silk weaving, typically from Como, with the traditional wool weaving of the Biella area. While the development of skills concerns our resources, the Pinto people, one of our most precious assets.

Achille Pinto stands for Ideas Manufacturer.   While waiting to meet you at the Milano Unica fair from 4 to 6 February 2025, we are pleased to present a preview of the inspiration of the new Achille Pinto Summer 2026 printed fabric collection: FIORITURE E GEOMETRIE IN EQUILIBRIO. Blooms and geometries in balance.   «Our new Summer 2026 collection is dedicated to creativity and experimentation and is inspired by two different but complementary stories: the vibrant delicacy of flowers and the visual solidity of geometric shapes.   Blooms celebrates the extraordinary beauty of flowers: a journey through imaginary gardens and exotic landscapes, where nature becomes wearable art.   Geometries features the balance between rigor and creativity with monochromes and geometric blocks. Designed for garments with a modern and structured cut, the fabrics evoke a versatile aesthetic that adapts to both minimalist silhouettes and more experimental styles.»   Paolo Uliassi, Achille Pinto CEO

Unconventional ideas that turn into exceptional projects: Achille Pinto and Pierre-Louis Mascia have unveiled a new chapter in the brand’s journey, debuting at Milan Fashion Week with the Fall/Winter 25 show «Bright Star». «The Bright Star collection is an ode to melancholy and delicate beauty, transporting us to a timeless space where each silhouette embodies the delicate balance between beauty and resilience. Baroque prints, luxurious textures and inspirations from the Italian Renaissance intertwine with melancholic echoes of Julia Margaret Cameron’s portraits and Aubrey Beardsley’s decadent illustrations.» Pierre.louis Mascia

Since 2017, Achille Pinto has been pursuing the implementation of the CHEM 4sustainability protocol, reaching the highest level of excellence by 2022. In the same year, the path to managing traceability upstream of the supply chain began with The ID Factory. In both cases, these are structured partnerships aimed at efficiently responding to market challenges and the acceleration of the legislator. “Although sustainability has driven Achille Pinto actions for several decades, attention to this matter has acquired an unprecedented centrality in recent years. This is certainly the result of a general increase in collective sensitivity to logics of which fashion brands - our customers - have often been spokespersons. One of the objectives that I care about most is to actively influence changes in the textile sector, trying to always be proactive, innovative and at the same time sustainable. To succeed in this, having a solid internal foundation is certainly a priority, as is working with partners that are up to the task, such as 4sustainability and The ID Factory for us”. Matteo Uliassi, CEO Achille Pinto. Thanks to 4sustainability and The ID Factory for their constant support and guidance on this journey and for giving us space in the Success Stories column.
