Unity makes luxury. A new platform of “materials and services” aimed at the high-end segment, is born in the tanning industry: It’s called UNICA, and it sums up the experience in the automotive sector of Conceria Pasubio with that in the fashion field of Conceria Antiba and SK!N, which recently became part of Pasubio Group. UNICA, as stated in a note, “aims to create a unique entity in terms of offering and positioning. A platform of industrial and commercial excellence designed to guarantee the prestige of Italian craftsmanship at the service of the luxury sector in all its declinations: Automobiles, handbags, shoes, accessories, clothing and interior design”.
UNICA, a new platform for luxury
Luxury and excellence are the focuses of UNICA: “With its particular expertise in creating customized and bespoke products, Pasubio currently produces more than 1,600 SKUs, meeting the specific needs of its long-standing brand partners (such as Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Lamborghini, Porsche, Range Rover and BMW) with precision and quality. Meanwhile, Antiba has a deep tradition of producing calf and goat leather in the luxury sector, with clients such as Hermès, Chanel, and Bottega Veneta. SK!N is then a key provider of commercial services and product scouting, in the fashion world, thanks to established relationships with all major international fashion brands. The group’s culture, based on quality, savoir–faire and craftsmanship, will be codified and protected through the introduction of cutting-edge solutions, such as AI, thus guaranteeing the long-term the traditional value of Italian excellence for all partner brands”.
Operating structure
“The founders of Antiba – Paolo and Graziano Balducci – and SK!N’s – Daniele Salassa and Arrigo Calorini – have become shareholders in the group holding company, alongside PAI Partners and the Pretto family. They will invest significant financial and human resources in UNICA, the press release explains. “The UNICA platform will be managed through vertically specific divisions and management teams. The founders will play a key leadership role within the group, and oversee their clients in continuity with past work. A management committee, actively involving the founders, will improve the overall efficiency of the group, focusing on sustainability and material traceability, along with reducing development and delivery times”.
