Durst Group has officially launched the Durst Como project, a new industrial and technology hub dedicated to digital textile printing in the heart of the Como textile district. Representing an investment of approximately €20 million in buildings and infrastructure, the project aims to create a highly specialised production centre in Lombardy, focused on the development of inkjet technologies, software, applied research, and advanced solutions for industrial digital textile printing. “Como has been printing the world’s textiles for generations. We are not here to pass through. We are here to stay,” said Christoph Gamper, CEO and Co-Owner of Durst Group. “Durst Como is a long-term commitment: European technology, built here, for the world.”
The investment in Durst Como is part of a growth path that Durst Group has pursued in the textile sector for more than a decade. Over the past 12 years, the Group has invested more than €50 million in its textile business, with initiatives focused on developing international markets, enhancing laboratory infrastructure, and strengthening its sites in Brixen/Bressanone and Kufstein (AT). With revenues of €430+ million, Durst Group is now aiming to double its revenue over the next five years, supported also by the further consolidation of its role in technologies for industrial textile printing.
