THE MOST BEAUTIFUL FACTORY IN THE HORN OF AFRICA
The last thing we wanted to do in Ethiopia was to compromise the quality standards we had achieved in Italy. We came here to do even better, putting in all our passion and seeking to inspire the people we work alongside. By all accounts, we succeeded—and much sooner than expected.

The Yegof industrial site marks a significant milestone in the Carvico Group’s international expansion. The strategy behind it is ambitious.
Ethiopia boasts a long tradition in cotton cultivation and yarn and fabric production, as well as the export of raw materials and finished products. Kombolcha itself has historically been a textile district, with schools and universities preparing young people for careers in the sector.
During a site visit, the Minister of Industry, Melaku Abel, described it as “the most beautiful factory in the Horn of Africa”. We are proud to have built this reputation at the highest institutional levels in just a few years.
PRODUCTION LINES
WATCHWORD: PROCESS INTEGRATION OF A LEADER
A good factory is one where all the data needed to make sound decisions can be seen on the dashboard. Good decisions are those that safeguard long-term quality parameters. We call it quality continuity.

The entire production cycle is concentrated within the Yegof facility in Kombolcha:
- warping
- warp-knitting or circular knitting
- dyeing
- quality control laboratory
The warp-knitting areas are designed as separate spaces, featuring sound absorbing panels and well-spaced machinery to guarantee low noise levels and protect working conditions.
The fabrics are produced using regenerated yarns from pre consumer nylon waste and recycled PET.
FABRICS
