The family-owned Bortex Group (the name is an anagram derived from ‘Borg’ and ‘textiles’) has been in the<br />
business of suiting manfacturing since 1964. Founder Salvatore ‘Sunny’ Borg launched the firm, specializing in<br />
men’s suits, jackets and trousers, whilst also being renowned for manufacturing for other labels of well-known<br />
and high profile customers from around the world. The Borg family started Gagliardi based on the founder’s<br />
