About Milano Gymnastics
Milano: tradition and innovation in the world of gymnastics
Founding and development
Milano was founded in 1991 as a family business driven by a passion for gymnastics and creative marketing. The breakthrough came in 1996 when Milano became a sponsor of the British gymnastics team. Since then, Milano has become a household name and a major influence in the gymnastics industry.
New era among Signature Fabrics
In October 2019, a new chapter began when Milano was acquired by Signature Fabrics, an expert in technical sports fabrics and digital printing technology. The new owners focused on comprehensive modernizations in every area of the company. In just a few months, despite COVID-19 restrictions, Milano has achieved impressive developments: a new website, a factory outlet, a brand new collection of entry-level leotards, a network of European sales partners and a complete overhaul of the invoicing and computer system.
our mission
At Milano, our goal is to produce the most exciting and high quality leotards. We offer a comprehensive selection that covers all skill and price ranges. We never forget our responsibility for the environment, ethics and sustainability. This affects the fabrics we use, the crystals used in embellishment, the quality of the inks, dyes and foils in our manufacturing processes. As a proud British manufacturer, we adhere to all working standards, including wages and working conditions.
Ethics Policy
All of our leotards are made in our own factory in the North West of England. We do not employ people who are not able to work. All our employees are paid at levels that meet or exceed UK legislation.
Environmental policy
We produce our leotards with careful consideration of every component used. Wherever possible we use Italian Lycra fabrics. The inks in our prints are water-based to avoid pollutant emissions and toxic effects. We now only use high quality triple “AAA” glass crystal rhinestones to reduce the environmental impact of commonly used plastic stones.
