Bluesign Partners With LIM Group For Sustainable Denim Manufacturing

Bluesign, a global leader in sustainability solutions for the textile industry, has announced its partnership with LIM Group as their first laundry system partner in Italy. This collaboration positions Bluesign as a one-stop resource for LIM’s teams, which work with top designers and luxury brands on their denim programmes. The partnership is especially significant in the light of EU regulations like CSDDD, CSRD, and ESPR, as Bluesign is recognized for its expertise in chemical management and impact reduction across the textile supply chain.

Founded in the 1980s and led by the Stevanin family, LIM Group is renowned in the fashion industry for its innovative denim washing and dyeing techniques. The company integrates eco-friendly technologies, including ozone and laser machinery, wastewater purification systems and renewable energy-powered operations.

Daniel Rüfenacht, CEO of Bluesign, expressed excitement about the partnership, saying, “LIM’s leadership in denim washing and dyeing, combined with our sustainable expertise, will help set a new standard for clean denim manufacturing in Europe. We are thrilled to collaborate with the Stevanin family and LIM Group as they help expand our mission globally.”

As the first Bluesign laundry partner in Italy, LIM Group is at the forefront of reshaping the country’s textile landscape, using advanced technologies to reduce resource consumption and environmental impact. Gianfranco Stevanin, CEO and co-owner of LIM Group, added, “Joining the Bluesign system is a key step in our commitment to sustainability. This partnership will help us deliver innovative, eco-conscious solutions that meet the growing demand for responsible manufacturing and meet the expectations of today’s consumers.”
