Louis

De' Louis Hurwits was born in Amsterdam on the 4th September, 1945. After high school in 1962, he went to Hogere Textiel School in Enschede, and graduated as a textile engineer in 1966.

His first engagement (1967-1972) was to set up a liaison office in Yugoslavia to produce garments for Dutch garment makers, who were already struggling with labour costs in the Netherlands and thus had their garments cut and sewn in low labour cost regions like Yugoslavia using their patterns, fabrics, and all accessories. He then switched to work as an agent & trader for many international fabric and yarn manufacturers supplying the Yugoslavia garment and knitwear industry with fashionable quality products (1972-1979). This job created in Hurwits a desire to transform raw materials into nice final products and inspired him to look for opportunities. This led to the setup of Hurwits SRL in Trieste, East of Italy on November 6, 1979 where he started making simple sports & casual socks.

In 1994, the business moved to the province of Belluno, Northern Italy and Hurwits incorporated his company into Intersocks. Intersocks, in Italy has grown steadily specializing in the field of high technical sport and sporty socks supplying to many well-known brands and specialized retail groups across 60 countries. It has a distribution division of different products and brands, Crocs being the most well-known one.

“Our strategic focus in the coming years will be expansion of the socks business in both international and domestic markets and I believe that the next leap of growth will come from building on our already increasing presence in the U S market.

The major anchors for this growth will be deeper understanding of customer needs, related design and fashion trends and our competitive value propositions along with basics of consistent high quality and good service levels. We are building a high performance organization to move forward in this direction and we greatly value strong focus on goals and objectives, hard and smart work and team play.

I hope to see Infiiloom grow into a financially strong and efficient organization recognized for its reliable name in the export market and also a lead player in the domestic market.”

Rome was not built in a day, and each paved stone mattered. Infiiloom, from the day I joined till date, has moved from 930 knitting machines to 1600+ hundred knitting machines doubling the turnover in a matter of over a year. With daily capacities currently running at 32000 DZ, the company has reached the levels of competing in the global markets with a sizable number of machines.

We, at Infiiloom, are already challenging ourselves by aiming for a state-of-the-art facility with at least 2500 machines which would be the game-changer in the global market.The Indian market is also not very aware of the importance of socks, and Infiiloom would strive to place a product that would be way different from a normal/usual sock experience.

This would definitely make change the way Indians think about socks. The path, of course, is not easy, and the four M’s - Man, Machine, Method and Material, would definitely play a vital role in achieving the desired results. Our vision is to firmly anchor Infiiloom as a trustworthy global manufacturer of socks through innovation and product-centricity.
