Nowadays the MOSILANA trademark with the white lamb situated above the silhouette of Brno symbolizes the company Nová Mosilana, a.s. – one of the prominent producers of fabric for men’s and women’s clothing made of combed woolen yarn, whose owner is the Italian international concern the MARZOTTO GROUP.

The company has picked up the threads of Brno textile producers’ work and their hundreds of years of traditions. The first textile manufactories started in the 18th century and Brno became one of the major centres of woolen fabric production in Austria-Hungary.

Until the end of the WWII the woolen production was realized by small private firms in Brno – i.e. Brünner Kamgarn-Spinnerei, called Kemka, and Essler, Klein Brothers, Weiss, Hecht, Neimark, and Kohn to name but a few.

In accordance with the regulation of Ministry of Industry were these private firms integrated into the national company of Moravian-Silesian wool works after the WWII. The national company was registered in the trading register on 18 October 1946.

The Moravian-Silesian wool works were later divided into five independent subjects by means of administrative act and among these subjects was also the national company Mosilana.

The name was used until 31 November 1988 and on 1 January 1989 it was changed into the state company Mosilana Brno, which was a universal successor of the former national company.

Changes in political and social situation in 1989 energized general privatization of the national economy. The national company Mosilana Brno was privatized in the so called first wave and Mosilana Brno, a.s. came into existence on 1 May 1992.

Negotiations with the Italian concern MARZOTTO S.p.A. regarding further cooperation were in motion even before the act of privatization.

On 4 November 1994 the negotiations resulted in signing the final documents concerning capital investments of Marzotto S.p.A into Nová Mosilana, a.s.

The MARZOTTO GROUP has been the owner of Nová Mosilana, a.s since 4 November 1994.

Since Nová Mosilana, a.s. became a part of the MARZOTTO GROUP its production basis has been changed considerably, which is characterized by a self-contained production cycle beginning with the entry of rye tops and ending with completed cloth.

All production has been concentrated in one place in the processing area in Brno Černovice and the premises has expanded with new production and storage buildings. Machine holding and related technological junctions have been modernized successively.

As a result of this activity the production has increased more than four times compared with the previous production.

In its last stage of development the company put its main product – cloth for men’s and women’s clothes made of top quality Australian wool – into the highest stages of wool industry.

The last success have connection with ability this firm to adapt product for required changes to still more exacting customer.

The quality of production as well as the quality of final products is guaranteed not only by professionalism and qualified experts, but also by the CQS ISO 9001:2001 certificate, certificate Ecolabel, certifikate Oeko-Tex Standard 100.
