Doing business is a social act that implies a real responsibility towards work, workers and the territory.
Chairman of the Board and Executive Director
Respect for the places where its production sites are situated has been a guiding principle for the Prada Group since its founding. Recognizing that any new construction has a significant impact on the surrounding territory, and that this decision should only be made when necessary, the Prada Group has demonstrated its absolute commitment to renovating and repurposing existing structures in an intelligent and artful way.
For the few new buildings, the Group has worked with master architects capable of ensuring that the structures represent not the occupation of the territory but the construction of the landscape. These buildings are designed to harmonize with the territory that hosts them, without creating imbalances.

In 2015 the Prada Group decided to invest in the purchase of a large industrial plant of 11,600 square meters in Scandicci, which produced Christmas decorations, to upgrade it and site our full-cycle leather goods production there. With this purchase, the Group consolidated and expanded its presence in this district, among the most important in the world in the production of high-quality leather goods.

That same year, the Prada Group purchased the Tannerie Mégisserie Hervy in France, a plant specialized in tanning since 1936, located at Isle near Limoges. Prada thus acquired the assets of the tannery (plant and machinery) and the local specialized workforce, which has been gradually reintegrated into the structure, to restore the original production capacity.
In addition to these projects, in 2015, was ended the restructuring of the Terranuova laboratories, created a mechanized facility at Levanella, and a cutting center at Valvigna, restructured a plant in Siena, and restructured a warehouse and a plant near Arezzo.

This industrial site is the result of a subtle balance between architecture and nature. Recovering a degraded territory and mitigating the landscape impact of the planned construction, are the main points of the endeavor undertaken by the Prada Group and by architect Guido Canali during their long-lasting collaboration.
Montevarchi
In this site, the prototyping activity is dedicated to Prada Women’s footwear, as well as the Linea Rossa and Car Shoe collections.
Montevarchi produces about 700 pairs of shoes every day. At Montevarchi, conservation and respect for the place are at the center of the architectural project. The structure extends horizontally in order to limit an impact that could be perceived as outsized compared to its surrounding context.

At Montegranaro, in the Marche region, stands the first “garden factory” of the Prada Group.
