For this second episode we are meeting with Matteo Mantellassi, he is the CEO of MANTECO.
In 1943 Manteco opens in Prato, thanks to the intuition of Enzo Mantellassi , who begins production for outerwear.
In 1967 Enzo’s son Franco Mantellassi assumes command of the Company. Franco enables Manteco to grow, while becoming an example of responsibility, innovation and sustainability. Today Franco has been joined by his sons Marco and Matteo, interpreters of a new story, which is based on a unique know how, an archive of 40,000 prototypes, with a capacity of production of more than 7 million meters of fabric per year.
Manteco has always remained faithful to the Made in Italy tradition, refusing to relocate production to countries where the cost of labor is lower. A choice that has allowed to maintain high quality production and attention to details, ensuring an excellent service for the customers. The Manteco fabrics encloses the right balance between craftsmanship and industrialization, thanks to the experience and tradition applied to cutting-edge technology.
Today Manteco exports to over 30 countries worldwide and counts among its main customers the most important fashion brands on an international scale, together with which it guarantees a sustainable and controlled development of the sector. The export activity of the fabrics is supported by a Customer Service attentive to the needs of the market.
