Our multifaceted full-thread weaves are astonishingly refined and each seasonal innovation sets its own specific standards. We target a discerning audience and want all our customers to feel this tangible added value.

personal & pioneering partnerships

Together, we don't just create textiles. We create emotions, memories and values for the world’s most renowned tailors and producers. Our decades of trusting and loyal collaboration make our processes simple. We share this passion and high standards for quality.

About us

We focus on producing the ultimate high-quality Swiss fabric, from design to finish. We have inspired the top shirt designers and makers for over a century with our peerless ALUMO fabric quality and continue to do all we can to exceed their high expectations. Our high level of specialisation and preservation of the precious art of weaving makes us a producer of robust yet intricate cotton fabrics that are unique worldwide. We work in compliance with our all-encompassing commitment to sustainability, STeP by OEKO-TEX.

Our story

Our story begins back in 1918, when Carl Albrecht founded the yarn factory of the same name with 48 looms. The textile industry infrastructure was already outstanding back then, and Switzerland was at the leading edge of spinning and weaving technology. When the company was handed over to his son in 1927, the company had as many as 84 looms. It survived economic crises and the Second World War with the same lasting strength that sets us apart today. When Robert Morgen joined the business in 1941, it became Albrecht + Morgen, which was subsequently shortened to our current name, ALUMO. Since the 1950s, we have specialised in fine cotton weave for shirts. We’re constantly expanding our field of expertise. With over a century of experience, we maintain our standards for quality and the art of weaving and produce a fine selection of cotton weaves in top Swiss quality for world-renowned tailors and producers.

Our manufacturing process

We look after our world-renowned fabric every stitch of the way, taking care of the entire production process, from design to finishing. Once we have selected the finest threads – from Ne 100/2 to Ne 240/2 – of extra-long-staple cotton, these are weaved into our unique ALUMO textiles in our partner weaving mill. To ensure the highest standard of weaving technology, our specialist knowledge of our machines and their configuration is our best-kept secret. With an unparalleled soft and natural finish made in Switzerland, we perfect our ALUMO fabrics to our peerless standard.

Our commitment to sustainability

The sustainability of our textiles and our approach is a core aspect of our company values. When it comes to sustainability, just like our fine cotton weaves, only the best will do – with no compromises. Accordingly, we are certified in line with strict STeP by OEKO-TEX criteria, reaching Level 3 ‘Best Practice’ with our performance. We consistently apply due diligence to ensure we continue to adhere to this complex standard, which applies to all our direct suppliers as well as ourselves. They are also STeP-certified and rated Level 3 ‘Best Practice’. After all, taking responsibility for our operations and our entire supply chain is crucial to us.
