Our Heritage

Present

Today, Lior is run by Annalisa Cristiani, daughter of the founder. After graduating in Economics from Bocconi University in 1989, she built her career in textiles from the ground up, developing a deep knowledge of every part of the business.

Lior is a flexible, well-established team, with agents across different countries and an export manager always ready to meet clients wherever they are.

History

Lior was founded in Como in 1984 by Gaspare Cristiani. Mr Cristiani began working in textiles in Como in the early 1960s. Alongside founding Lior srl, he also founded a printing company in Switzerland and acquired Lastiss AG, adding metallic foil and holographic printing to the business. In 2013, Annalisa moved the operation fully to Como, creating a lean, responsive structure close to its supply sources.

With over 40 years of experience, this hands-on heritage continues to shape the way Lior works today.
