Schneider have combined a tradition. Quality, technology and experience are the goals to lead the world in producing and supplying high quality top to the most important yarn and fabric manufacturers.

"To constantly search for the best, to offer the highest quality and standard of service to our discerning customer base"

1920's

In 1922, Mr. Giovanni Schneider, a young wool buyer, together with some business colleagues decides to start a new company. The young team supported by enthusiasm and good knowledge of the markets manages to build a successful company within a few years.

1940's

Between the two wars, Schneider acts mainly as a trader, purchasing greasy wool from Australia on behalf of European textile companies. Schneider focuses on high quality fine wools to meet the growing demand for quality textiles in the European markets.

1950's

The textile sector changes significantly during the 50s. The traditional textile plants are replaced by new more flexible facilities. This evolution leads to an increase of the number of users of wool tops; consequently traditional wool traders turn to top makers. Schneider becomes a true topmaker. The company developes technology and knowledge over several years to obtain the best combed sliver from the most precious wools.

PRESENT

Schneider is a strong and integrated organization with processing and sales branches in all five continents. It is today a world leader in processing and supplying superfine wools and precious natural fibres.
