Alessandro Ferrone laid the foundations of what today is FERRONE S.p.a. Thanks to his entrepreneurial and personal qualities, he was able to transform fabric trading, which began in the first years after the war, into a genuine industry, launching and developing all the phases of the textiles market. Today Ferrone S.p.a. produces and exports approximately 2 million items of clothing throughout the world with a portfolio of 2 brands, SANDRO FERRONE and SWEET SIZE (the latter created in 2003) and precise positioning in terms of style, price and distribution channel. Alessandro Ferrone was awarded the title of Cavaliere Del Lavoro (a Knighthood for Industry) in June 2005 by the Federazione Nazionale di Cavalieri del Lavoro.
