Our history

The socio-economic fabric and cultural identity of Busto Arsizio have always had close ties with the textile world.
Since the second half of the 19th century the textile industry has played an increasingly important role, so much so that in a few decades Busto Arsizio came to be known as the “Manchester of Italy”. And it was precisely in this area that, in 1981, the B.A. Special Chem & Color was established.

Over the years we have structured our organisation, enhanced our know-how and forged important partnerships with the main international leaders in the production of dyes, auxiliaries and additives.

Today we are a company with an international vision that studies and offers innovative solutions, compliant with international regulations and geared towards creating a more sustainable future.

Values

One of the outstanding aspects of our philosophy is the keen attention we pay to our customers’ needs. We go beyond the sale of the product, providing companies with assistance from the advisory phase to the post-sales phase, with a service aimed at offering prompt and efficient, tailor-made solutions.
Our values

01.

Attention to our customers

Enhancing customer loyalty guides our business activity. We believe it is essential to establish and maintain a relationship of trust with our customers over time, by providing qualified ad-hoc assistance.
02.

Managing issues

The ability to manage unexpected issues is one of the guiding values of our philosophy, and the ongoing dialogue with each of our customers is one of the actions we use to achieve this. It is precisely by listening to the specific needs of each customer that we seek to offer a tailor-made service on every occasion.
03.

Environmental sustainability

We focus heavily on research and development with particular attention to the topic of sustainability.
The textile industry has an enormous challenge: to accelerate its introduction of sustainable treatments to allow manufacturing companies to save water and energy and reduce environmental impact.

Investing in technological innovation to support environmental sustainability is one of our priorities so as to contribute to the reduction in resource consumption and polluting emissions. And the selection of bio-based products, obtained from renewable sources such as biomass, is a step in this direction.

Furthermore, compliance with the criteria established by the GOTS standard (Global Organic Textile Standard) ensures a high level of quality and control also regarding the hazardous nature of the substances.
04.

Certifications

The growth of B.A. Special Chem & Color and its focus on sustainability can also be seen from its decision, over the years, to be certified by the most important entities in the sector.

• the ISO 9001 Quality Certification, which allows us to optimize all our company processes, so as to guarantee the effectiveness and efficiency of our service at all levels with prompt and precise responses.

• GOTS Certification, which allows us to select, through the application of ecological and social criteria, dyes and auxiliaries suitable for the finishing process of natural fibres derived from organic farming.

• the bluesign® Certification, which certifies all phases of the supply chain in order to select chemical products that respect the environment and are not harmful to the health of workers and users. This certification has also allowed us to register our products at level 3 of the ZDHC gateway.
