Following the recent acquisition of Swiss excellences in shirting fabrics, the company,
global leader in interlinings production, entrusts the two executives with the leadership of the business unit
Milan, October 23, 2024. ChargersThe world leader in the manufacturing of interlinings and inner garment components, PCC Fashion Technologies, creates a new shirting fabric division and names Giorgio Marcarino as its CEO and Gianluca Tanzi as its chairman. This move comes after the brands Alumo, Brennet, and Eugster & Huber—the pinnacle of Swiss heritage in quality shirting fabrics—were recently acquired from Cilander.
Gianluca Tanzi added: “Giorgio Marcarino and I are ecstatic about the chance to breathe new life into the businesses we’ve bought. In order to further Chargeurs PCC’s development strategy, which includes expanding our portfolio—which has historically been focused on inner components and interlinings—with the provision of the best fabrics targeted at the shirting industry, our vast experience and in-depth understanding of the product and textile world will be essential. Combining French and Swiss knowledge will enable us to use ever-more-innovative solutions and broaden our area of expertise.
Giorgio Marcarino added: “Chargeurs PCC, which has always set itself apart in the textile-clothing industry by providing innovative products of the highest quality, is well suited to the new shirting division’s business and growth strategy. We have a special chance to cross-sell with our interlinings today, which will provide the business more motivation to improve performance and provide our clients with even more thorough and individualized service.”
The fabrics produced by the Swiss heritage brands Alumo and Eugster & Huber represent the cream of the high-end shirting industry. Chargeurs PCC aims to maximise the potential of these brands, restoring their deserved leadership in luxury shirting. As for Brennet, the company has initiated a major repositioning plan focused on enhancing performance and innovation. The approach aims to meet the rising demand of contemporary consumers for high quality shirting fabrics.
Gianluca Tanzi is a highly experienced global executive who has designed and executed successful retail, wholesale and e-commerce strategies for textile, fashion and accessories companies in Europe and the US. He has held various executive positions within prestigious fashion groups. Since 2021 he has been Chairman and CEO of Chargeurs PCC Fashion Technologies and Chairman of Chargeurs Luxury Fibers.
Giorgio Marcarino boasts decades of expertise in the high-end textile sector, where he held responsible positions in the sales, operations and marketing areas of the most important Italian textile groups. He joined Chargeurs PCC Fashion Technologies in 2022 as General Manager EMEA, and since 2023 he has held the position of Chief Commercial Officer.
