About us

Orapluma was founded in 1999 by an idea of Mr. Silvano Cinelli.

Mr. Cinelli began its activities in the feather in 1947. He founded Cinelli Piume e Piumini Srl, established in Tuscany, Buggiano (PT) Italy, where, from 1964 to now produces and sells feathers and products filled with these materials for upholstery furnishing, beds and garments. The company is internationally recognized leadership of absolute value in products in feathers and down.

In the late 90’s the research for high-quality standard in the feathers, led Mr.Cinelli in Romania. But besides the great feathers in Romania, Silvano Cinelli has found the ideal location for a company for the acquisition and processing of feathers and down.

And so was born Orapluma. Today, in addition to the acquisition of the feathers, make the whole production process of transformation, to the production of manufactured products with feathers and down, where Mr. Cinelli brought all the experience gained in many, many years.

Orapluma is located in the north-west of Romania in the city of Aleşd, in a region with an ancient tradition for the breeding of the geese and the collection of the feathers.

Aleşd is located 40km from Oradea, on the border with Hungary, in Transilvania, where the small plain surrounded by hills rich in rivers, is the ideal place for geese.

The geese are still farmed by small farmers, free in the meadows, and live and feed in organic farming, eating what they found in nature. Peeling in animals is done by hand during the summer, when the animal expels the down during the moulting. To these factors the plumage is developing high-quality, perhaps the best in the world, for the high power resilient, softness and durability.
