For Prada, controlling its production and traceability made in Italy<\/strong> is a priority.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n After already 70 million euros in 2022,<\/strong> the group intends to invest 60 million euros in 2023<\/strong> in the manufacturing chain.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Its most important project is doubling<\/strong> the production capacity of its knitwear factory in Torgiano<\/strong>, located in Umbria, revealed the Reuters agency.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Prada also plans to invest in the expansion of other existing production units and in the implementation of modern technologies<\/strong>.\u00a0 Prada’s workshops are concentrated mainly in Tuscany, Umbria, and the Marches.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The group, which owns the eponymous brand as well as Miu-Miu, Church’s, and Car Shoe<\/strong>, does not exclude the possibility of acquiring production units in Italy dedicated to skills it does not yet master.<\/strong> These could be specialized in textiles and ready-to-wear but not in leather, a sector in which the group is already well established.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In order to be active at the helm of these additional production units, Massimo Vian, the industrial director<\/strong>, recently declared that Prada wanted to invest massively in its workforce. 400 people will be hired in Italy by the end of 2023.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Half of these new employees were trained in its in-house school, the Prada Group Academy<\/strong>, called to be “increasingly crucial for the future preservation” of its “know-how and that of the sector.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Created in the 2000s, this school is dedicated to both the craft of excellence<\/strong> (leather goods, ready-to-wear, embroidery …), communication, and technology. The school offers the best services and products to a demanding clientele.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n And to continue to surf on a beautiful dynamic: Prada has achieved 2022 a record turnover, up 25% to 4.2 billion euros<\/strong>, and a net profit that has jumped 58% to 465 million euros. That is even better than what analysts were projecting!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Read also > Prada: earnings ahead of expectations in 2022<\/a><\/p>\nModern technologies<\/h2>\n
