| Our company was founded in the
1980's in Vago di Lavagno, in the province of Verona,
an area which has always been an important trading crossroads.
Very soon, with the creation of our new hi-tech membranes,
Veratex for footwear and Windtex for clothing, we were
in a position to reorganise the company. On the structural
side, we built modern new premises in Colognola ai Colli,
and in terms of our organisation, we were able to purchase
new machinery and to employ specialised staff.
As a result of the characteristics of our membranes
and of our strategy, which aimed at developing the
brand through substantial investment in the product,
we soon achieved a level of success that we had not
thought possible. Nowadays Vagotex is a leader in
the field of lamination and fabric processing for
hi-tech sports clothes and for footwear in general.

dedicated to tests in a climatised room At present
we are able to carry out 40 different tests on
each article. The test results are given in the
technical report card which is available to our
clients on request. So far we have completed about
200 report cards and carried out over 2,500 tests.

| The quality of
our products and our expertise have been recognised
by the official organisations Certitex and Certicalz,
enabling us to attain ISO 9002 international certification.
We have also created "Quality Lamination",
the first and only guarantee against the delamination
of fabrics caused by frequent washing (in water
or dry-cleaning). |

Sport is our genetic heritage
Our positive and dynamic company philosophy, and
our excellent relationship with the world of sport,
has enabled us to create specific fabrics for different
sports. Our aim is to improve the technical quality
of our materials in order to adapt them to an ever
wider and more complex range of situations. Our strong
point is to be found in our "field tests"
in which numerous athletes put our products to the
test in a variety of extreme conditions, trying them
out in wind, rain and polar temperatures. Thanks to
our reliable testers and constant research, fabrics
laminated with Windtex have become a reference point
for sports such as mountaineering, cross-country skiing,
sailing, cycling and all those activities in which
clothing can affect performance.
