Who We Are
A leader in the transfer printing industry
Sublitex was born in 1976 in Alba from an ambitious project of the Miroglio Group, with the aim of exploring and developing the potential of transfer technology and anticipating the evolution of industrial printing processes.
Since its origins, constant attention to market needs, combined with a continuous drive for technological innovation, has driven the company’s growth, allowing Sublitex to gradually establish itself as an international benchmark in the transfer printing industry.
Today, thanks to an active sales network in more than 50 countries, Sublitex operates on a global scale supporting clients belonging to major textile, industrial and design markets, consolidating a globally recognized leadership position.
This path of development is accompanied by the company’s desire to promote a sustainable and responsible industrial model, directing its technological and production choices in line with the principles of the Miroglio Group’s Code of Ethics and the growing environmental requirements of the international context.

High print quality and advanced performance control
Inside the Alba industrial facility are Sublitex Research & Development laboratories, equipped with a state-of-the-art analytical laboratory dedicated to quality control and validation of printing performance. In this facility, finished products and process parameters are constantly monitored through advanced technical tests, including: QUV-A and QUV-B accelerated aging tests lightfastness tests through SUN TEST analysis and color management with X-RITE systems abrasion and surface resistance tests TABER TEST Print quality is also verified in advance through a digital sampling service, which allows checking color rendition and transfer performance before industrial production starts. This approach ensures high quality standards, production continuity and reliability in transfer printing and surface decoration applications.
