Mec Europa invests to internalise the supply chain

Mec Europa continues its path of growth by opening a new facility and increasing the number of assembly lines for the production of high-end shoes for the world’s most prestigious fashion brands to 7. The new production unit is located close to the company’s headquarters and the other three factories in Verolanuova (BS), and houses the in-house hemming and cutting department. At the same time, the head office is enriched by two additional handlooms that will be added to the five already operating in the different units. The operation carried out by Mec Europa is part of a broader development project that has seen the company invest the sum of two million euros over the last two years, with the aim of completely internalising all the processing phases of the supply chain in its own facilities and with employees, without having to resort to the work of external subcontractors. A significant commitment, which has led the company to integrate new resources by hiring 155 people from 2022 to date, bringing the total today to over 300 employees. Also part of the expansion path is the acquisition, in March 2023, of the Marches-based tomaificio RM, which in the space of a year has seen a significant growth in size, going from 22 employees to 56. ‘This is a very ambitious plan that will allow us to continue to grow, guaranteeing the excellence and high craftsmanship of each product,’ emphasises Mec Europa’s General Manager, Paolo Baiguera.
