Bologna-based leather accessories maker Vivolo has announced an expansion to its footwear and leather goods production.
The company will be adding 1,000 sq m of machinery on top of its existing 10,000 sq m production facility.
The company opened the headquarters just one year ago and is investing €1 million into footwear and leather goods manufacturing to drive production volumes and bring in skilled personnel.
The company has also been strengthening its network of sales agents in Northern Europe, particularly Germany, Netherlands and Scandinavia, and the Far East, focusing on South Korea and Japan.
Founder Luciano Vivolo said: “In recent years, we have faced all sorts of variables, unpredictable or, worse, unforeseen. The belief of luxury, like many cornerstones of our society and industry, is no longer as firmly established as it once was. The sector is experiencing a crisis with deeper roots than many might imagine.
“At Vivolo, we are tackling this situation as we always have, by working patiently, designing, cutting, sewing and creating one piece at a time, but always looking towards the horizon to recognise new opportunities and needs.”
