Lenzi Egisto

LENZI EGISTO has been producing innovative and technical fabrics since the '80s, especially for footwear.

In 2002 the LENZI EGISTO Center for Research and Development invented and patented the perforation proof textile insert L-PROTECTION, which has revolutionized the production of safety footwear in Italy and worldwide.

In 1898 Egisto Lenzi started in Prato his activity to recover noble fibers from used garments. An activity nowadays known as “virtuous fiber recycling”.
The production of “unconventional” fabrics and the continuous search for innovative textile solutions begins in the immediate post-war period,but it is only in the last two decades that, also thanks to a partnership with DuPont® , the great technological transformations in the textile sector led to the consolidation  of the new commercial strategies.
After a last generational change,in June 2013 ,that the Leathertex company took over the Lenzi Egisto brand,know-how and most of production units,giving continuity to technical textile tradition, peculiar to Lenzi Group in the Prato district by over a century.
