  • Illimity Supports Frette's Business Plan and Its Digital Growth
    ILLIMITY SUPPORTS FRETTE’S BUSINESS PLAN AND ITS DIGITAL GROWTH Milan, 4 February 2021 – illimity Bank S.p.A (“illimity” or the “Bank”), in pool with Solution Bank S.p.A. (“Solution”), has underwritten a 6-years loan of 12 million euro guaranteed by Sace “Garanzia Italia” to Frette S.r.l. (“Frette” or the “Group”), the historical Made in Italy textile brand specialized in the production of luxury linens for the home. Founded in 1860 and headquartered in Monza, Frette is an iconic Italian brand recognised throughout the world for the elegant and original design of products which embody luxury, comfort and creativity. The company’s production, which also includes customized items, is mostly targeted at top-end residential and hotel business customers around the world. Frette relies on an international commercial presence – particularly in the USA, the Group’s main target market – through over 100 boutiques, an e-commerce platform and more than 1,000 global partners, including many of the world’s most exclusive hotels, restaurants, spas, fitness centres and cruise ships. Frette’s products reflect the know-how of a company with 160 years of history and a vocation for the product quality and innovation of a business that looks to the future and is always seeking new ways to grow at a global level. The business plan of the Group – which achieved a turnover of approximately 100 million euro in 2019 – has been revised during 2020 and has confirmed the mid- term targets although considering a complex market context. In fact, the plan envisages a greater focus on e-commerce and, in general, on a digital approach, with the aim of accelerating growth further in this field and at internationally level.

Note 1710, 108 pages (October 2011) This publication is available free of charge from: https://doi.org/10.6028/NIST.TN.1710 ABSTRACT Existing and proposed U.S. flammability standards for soft furnishings such as mattresses and upholstered furniture specify a “standard” cigarette as the ignition source in smoldering resistance performance tests. With the introduction of reduced ignition propensity cigarettes into the marketplace, the specific conventional cigarette that has been widely used in testing for ignition resistance is no longer in production. A standard reference cigarette, SRM 1196, has been developed as a short-term replacement. However, to support furnishings manufacturers and testing organizations in product design and evaluation, and to assist regulators in the compliance evaluation process, a feasible and preferably non-agricultural ignition source with long-term availability is desirable.
