The Kering-owned brand announced the enlargement plan for Manifattura Veneta Pellettiere spaces
company that has been manufacturing the leather goods for the fashion brand since 2011 and that currently has two production sites near Vicenza
one in Altavilla Vicentina and one in Malo
A third site will now be added in Povolaro di Dueville
a small town half-way between the two existing plants
The new location will cover circa 6,000 square meters and will be developed on two floors
built following modern industrial manufacturing principles
About 200 new employs will join Manifattura Veneta Pelletterie to operate the factory before 2020
once the construction process that began in February will be completed
“Manifattura Venete Pelletterie will hire 100 new people
all having professionality and diversified experience levels
that will be trained internally via Bottega Veneta’s Scuola dei Maestri Pellettieri
The school is dedicated to transmitting the know-how practices for artisanal excellence that characterizes the brand – communicated Bottega Veneta in a note -
This is an important step forward for our process to make production an internal matter for Bottega Veneta
The goal is to maintain the excellence standards during the manufacturing of the goods and
to guarantee flexibility and know-how processes that only qualified and internally trained workers can produce
Manifattura Venete Pelletterie contributes through two sites that have a consolidated side supply-chain
making over 50% of Bottega Veneta’s leather goods
The organic is made of 300 artisans specialized in different phases of handbags’ production
small leather goods – from the cutting and quality control processes
the new business supports third-party manufacturing and prototype creators from Atelier di Montebello Vicentino
Manifattura Venete Pelletterie also has another 380 employs specialized in the treatment processes for leather
located in circa 20 artisanal laboratories spread over the Veneto region

Thanks to Industry 4.0 incentives and investment in technological and digital transformation
the company has witnessed an intensification of the local demand
headquartered in Dueville (VI) and a worldwide leader in automatic dosing systems
reported achieving significant sales increase in 2021 and a record of order acquisition in 2022
Despite the fact the company faced the repercussions of the pandemic in 2020
in 2021 the pre-pandemic volumes in terms of orders and production have returned
with an increase of 40% of 2022 order intake compared to the previous year
Production has rebounded to the pre-pandemic levels
while foreign demand has been robust in most markets
a transition in global textile production from east to west has generated an increment of orders from manufacturers in or close to Europe such as Turkey
This growth was mirrored in company investments and the goods they required from Color Service; in fact
since the demand for quality exceeds manufacturing capacity
a massive investment in automation has been carried out
Color Service has invested in the acquisition of its fourth production plant in Dueville with a total surface area of 4,500 sqm
where the production is planned to start by end of 2022
increased in 2019 with the third building (4.000 sqm total surface)
will increase with this additional building
achieving higher production and of course turnover
where the evolution of machines has become more and more connected with the environment in which they are placed
were particularly active for Color Service
the majority of innovations have been oriented toward environmental sustainability and Industry 4.0 regulations
The company’s technology complies with Industry 4.0 regulations since it guarantees a boost in productivity and product quality
as well as a significant improvement in employee working conditions and massive energy saving
Environment sustainability is a deeply-felt issue in this sector
often dealing with volatile and dusty material
Color Service is able to guarantee a completely closed and aspirated system with absolute control of the dust emitted during the weighing and the suction of the product that is recovered and reintroduced into the production cycle with obvious ecological and economic benefits
Despite the fact that the product range is relatively unchanged
over the years Color Service oriented its innovation on the renewal and upgrade of its systems
During this period with travel limitations and restrictions
the improvements were focused to shorten the commissioning times by enhancing the remote connection service
Thus 2022 has started with high expectations and by setting ambitious goals: this is a perfect scenario to celebrate the 35th anniversary of Color Service that
has been committed in developing continuous innovations and technology opportunities – always a step ahead of its competitors
