The Ermenegildo Zegna Group is a world leader in luxury men's clothing.  It employs more than 6.000 staff world-wide and has achieved a turnover of 779,4 million Euro in 2006.

Founded in Trivero, Italy in 1910 by Ermenegildo Zegna. The young entrepreneur strove to create high quality fabrics for men's clothing and his strategy was focused on the selection of the best raw materials from their markets of origin, innovation in product and in the production process and promotion of the brand.

The Group is still a "family business" and is managed by the fourth generation of the family: Paolo as Chairman, Ermenegildo as Ceo, Anna, Benedetta, Laura and Renata Zegna.

The founder's sons, Angelo Zegna, Honorary Chairman of the Group, and Aldo Zegna, who passed away in 2000, took over the management of the company from their father in the '60s. They lead the company into the ready-to-wear market with a line of men's clothing aimed at the top end of the market, followed gradually by knitwear, accessories and sportswear.
