The origins of the Cristini Group date back to 1914 and are deeply rooted in the traditions of the Fiorano Al Serio valley. Since the Middle Ages, this area has been actively involved in the textile industry. The group’s main production facility is located in Fiorano al Serio, which is situated in the most important industrial triangle in Northern Italy. The high quality standards of Cristini’s products have earned the appreciation and trust of many highly competitive foreign markets. Today, Cristini’s pulp and paper machine clothing are sold in more than 50 countries worldwide. In 1997 the Cristini Group built a 55,000 ft² Facility in Lachute, Canada in order to establish a presence in the North American market. This facility manufactures a full line of carrier rope and rope threading systems as well as spiral fabrics for paper machine dryer sections and filtration applications. In early 2000, Cristini also launched its Diagnostic systems division which has become the industry’s leading supplier of portable and online consistency gauges FiberScan™. The Diagnostic systems division has also launched online and portable press felt porosity and moisture measurements- PermFlowDuo™ making it the only instrument able to measure moisture porosity and temperature simultaneously. Cristini’s capabilities in Paper machine clothing and carrier rope coupled with its innovative Diagnostic instruments allow Cristini to be the only true Total Paper Machine Clothing Supplier.
