The Lanificio Fratelli Cerruti is an Italian privately held business which produces fine fabrics for haute couture. Founded in 1881 by Antonio Cerruti together with his two brothers and a cousin, it has since been managed by the Cerruti family and is currently owned by Fratelli Piacenza. It is a separate company from the Cerruti 1881 luxury fashion house owned by the Hong Kong conglomerate Trinity Ltd.,[1] which was in turn purchased by Shandong Ruyi in 2017.[2][3][4]
As of 2019, the Lanificio still produces 100% of its fabrics in the Biella headquarters.[5]
In 2022 Gruppo Piacenza S.p.a. bought the company.[6]
