Feel Blue among the 150 Italian Winning Companies awarded by Intesa Sanpaolo in Bologna

“These companies represent the best of Made in Italy across various sectors and are virtuous examples for their economic and social contributions to their local areas. They have shown great ability to respond to new market trends, recognizing the value of sustainability, digitalization, and the social role of businesses.” With these words, on September 24, 2024, in Bologna, Alessandra Florio, Regional Director for Emilia-Romagna and Marche at Intesa Sanpaolo, awarded Feel Blue as a Winning Company, selecting it from over 4,000 candidates across the country.

This prestigious recognition highlights our commitment to building a solid and sustainable industrial reality.

The 150 Winning Companies of the 2024 edition, including five from the Marche region, were chosen for launching projects or achieving significant results in terms of economic value and social impact, innovation and research, digital and ecological transition, export and internationalization, generational transition and size consolidation, training, welfare, and impact on communities and territories: all areas in which we have focused our efforts and investments in recent years.

Representing Feel Blue at the awards ceremony was CEO Giuseppe Mochi, who reiterated our commitment for the present and the future: “Feel Blue aims to continue being a winner: quality, execution speed, creative work, and style consulting are the cornerstones that distinguish the value of our offering in the international fashion and knitwear accessories market. We invested in sustainability when it wasn’t yet globally recognized as an essential requirement: we had already developed an integrated management system and obtained supply chain certifications that meet international standards. Most importantly, we decided to stay in the region where Feel Blue was founded twenty years ago: in the province of Macerata, near the Sibillini Mountains. Since then, we have grown significantly, exporting over 70% of our production, but we chose to keep our facility in this area to generate value in a peripheral zone, which was also affected by the 2016 earthquake. We invest in the well-being and professional growth of our workers, as well as in the economic, social, and cultural development of the community around us. Investing in human capital is as essential as investing in sustainability and technology.”
