I would like to share them with you. Enjoy reading!

Since then, the company has gained a significant share of the market, becoming one of the leaders in his field and it is in 1980 , that Drago developed a network of international sales . By joining the company, sons Paolo and Daniela have, thanks to targeted studies and innovative ideas contributed greatly to the expansion of the group.

Family
The Drago family is active in the textile industry for more than 40 years old . Paolo Drago, President and CEO, leads the company with the support important of his parents Umberto and Laura, founders of the company and Daniela, his sister, who manages the administrative area. Gabriele Mellina, Daniela's husband, joined the company as IT manager, while Paolo's wife, Mirka Maron Pot, takes care of the "custom" division. This is what I appreciate about Drago: a Italian family house , which never ceases to innovate and to keep its structure "at human size " since its creation.
Management
Drago bases his strategy on innovation and the research . The House carefully selects the best wools from Australia and New Zealand, subjecting each batch to laboratory testing in order to guarantee customers the parameters of finesse declared in the fabrics. The selected fineness goes from Super 130'S At Super 210'S : of rare and precious fabric to more exclusive . The white cashmere comes from Mongolia and is used alone or with the finest wool, to complete their luxury line. Among the fibers used, there is also a beautiful selection of linen, silk and other special fibers to make sophisticated and above all precious blends! This is mainly what I look for when choice of my fabrics for costumes . Drago knows how to meet the needs of my clients by finesse and the depth of its fabric colors.
