Adriafil Yarns

A story that began in 1911 in Mercatino Conca when Paolo di Lorenzo, Alberto di Lorenzo’s great-grandfather, had the intuition to use the water of the Conca river to power the wool spinning machines and start a new business, in addition to his own current miller.

In fact, in the area there were many animal farms including sheep whose wool could be purchased, processed and subsequently resold as yarn: thus the “Di Lorenzo Paolo & Figli” wool mill was born.

On the death of his father, around the 1950s, his sons Paolo, Alessandro and Giuseppe Di Lorenzo decided to split up: Alessandro moved to Rimini while Giuseppe ran the company in Mercatino Conca together with his young brother Paolo, already employed in the company. of the family business.

In 1960 Paolo Di Lorenzo moved to Cattolica and changed the name of the company to “Adriafil”. Thanks to his entrepreneurial skills and hard work, the company reaches all of Italy: the increasing requests for products led Paolo Di Lorenzo to the decision to move the business to Rimini in larger environments, first in Via Flaminia and then at the center GROS commercial center in Rimini.

Today the Adriafil company occupies 3,500 square meters at the GROS in Rimini, supplies many customers with its excellent yarns also abroad thanks to the work of Paolo’s son, Alberto Di Lorenzo who, supported by the skill and competence of his wife Sabina Garampelli, continues the work of his great-grandfather with passion.
