“We have to be very fast and ensure the highest quality to satisfy our prestigious customers,” says Mr Antico. “We know from experience that Monforts technology is synonymous with high quality production, but just as importantly, our relationship is built on the reliability and quality of service provided by Monforts and Sacconaghi Monaco.
Monforts technology is also well out in front in respect of line automation and electronics. And of course, because we are dealing mostly with heavyweight denim fabrics, the machine needs to be sturdy – something at which Monforts excels.”
The 2.2 m wide Montex stenter line has been installed in a new purpose-built facility which also houses a new washing line, with space for further planned expansions. It is one of three Berto buildings which are situated on a new industrial zone in Bovolenta – the company having now outgrown its original plant which was built in the heart of the village 120 years ago.
The fourth generation family-owned company's fully-integrated operations span yarn spinning, weaving and dyeing and finishing, employing 218 people and split into four divisions – Berto Denim, Berto Yarn, Berto Flat (responsible for finishing third party fabrics) and Berto Garments.
The company produces between five and seven million metres of its own fabrics and upto three million metres is finished for third parties. Berto's turnover in 2008 was more than Euros32.3 million. Berto's mission is to become 'the fashion craftsman of denim'. They are achieving their dream with continuous improvement in structure, organization and research to obtain increased flexibility and innovative products.
Today's market demands versatility, dynamism and immediacy.
“Requisites such as these cannot be improvised; they are in the DNA of those who can delve into their past, retrieve the right tools with which to compete and adapt them to new scenarios,” said Flavio Berto. Berto is actively involved in many social projects around the world. For example, it has been involved in the creation of education centres in Angola and hospitals and infectious disease treatment schemes in Ghana.
For many years Berto has been particularly active in Bangledesh having built around 25 village schools in the Chittagong Hill Tracts region as well as a residential school and a hotel for students. A second Berto company of a similar size and structure to that in Italy also operates in Bangladesh. It is run by Giuseppe Berto, father of Flavio Berto, who now oversees operations in Italy.
“Here in Italy, we operate in a high wage country and constant variety and quality of service are the only way we can survive,” says Flavio Berto. “New European technologies such as Monforts' Soft Coating are also essential tools for ensuring we stay ahead of the pack.”
