History

Forall Confezioni SpA was founded in 1980 as a company dedicated to the traditional menswear tailoring. [3] [5]

In the 1980s, the company created Pal Zileri as the brand to firm its identity and position based on the Italian savoir-faire and artisanal knowledge. Pal Zileri evokes the name of "Palazzo Zileri" an ancient building in the historic centre of Vicenza. [6] Pal Zileri worked with some of the Italian designer labels to produce and distribute their menswear lines.

In 2014, Mayhoola Group acquired the majority stake of the company, and later, in 2016 gained the full ownership. [7] [8]

Further marking this new course, in July 2018 Marco Sanavia was appointed as Chief Executive Officer of Forall Confezioni S.p.A., owner of Pal Zileri. [9]
