The company Scalina, Brazilian manufacturer of the brands TriFil and Scala, was founded in 1963 and started their activities producing stockings. In ten years they already were market leaders and produced also socks for men, sporting socks, sporting jumpers and lingerie.

Currently Scalina owns three industrial units, two in the city of Guarulhos, just outside the city of São Paulo, and one in Itabuna, in the northeastern state of Bahia. The third factory, in Bahia, was opened due to the demand generated by the Scala products. Some 4,000 people work for the company.

The brand Scala was launched in 1998 with a new sewing system for seamless articles. The lingerie is entirely cut by the machine and doesn't need seams on the sides, which makes it more comfortable.

· do not become visible under the clothes.
