The Weaves of Our Story

Long before the concept of female empowerment, Maria Anselmi dreamed of being her own boss. In 1981, she started a knitting business in a small room in her house in Farroupilha, in Serra Gaúcha.
The combination of talent, hard work and entrepreneurial spirit made the business prosper. Maria was looking for economic independence and professional fulfillment. And she has achieved much more than that in the last 40 years.

Anselmi is now a reference in the Latin American textile market. Its three factory parks concentrate all the productive chain of knitwear, from spinning to dyeing. In addition, the knitting mill employs 100% local labor, helping to develop the region and the dreams of everyone who is part of this story.

We are a company, and also a family

Maria Anselmi's three children work by her side, in charge of strategic functions of the company.

I would repeat the recipe, because it worked!

“If I had to start today, I think I would do everything the same way, I would repeat the recipe, because it worked.”
