Innovation
We invest in research to offer state-of-the-art solutions and anticipate market needs
Intro
Leather Forward
We created a corporate culture that encourages creativity and experimentation to favour the birth of original solutions. Innovation is the engine that drives us constantly to overcome expectations and shape new prospects.
We live in an age in which everything evolves quickly and market expectations are changing all the time. This is why Gruppo Mastrotto embraces innovation as a core guiding principle in every area of the company.
From the research and development of new products to digitisation and cyber security activities, we take a proactive approach, always focusing on the future, involving every department and every single team member.
All this is Leather Forward.
Gruppo Mastrotto has expanded significantly over the years, pursuing a well-defined strategy of targeted investments in advanced technologies. This commitment has resulted in the implementation of a series of significant innovations in production equipment, to optimise the efficiency of machinery and increase the productivity of the lines.
The actions taken include the technological upgrading of systems, adoption of state-of-the-art automation solutions and the systematic search for more efficient and less energy-intensive procedures. Not only has this modernisation improved production capacity, but it also helped strengthen our competitive edge in the global market.
In terms of production, we engage in sustainable innovation to reduce the use of chemicals and experiment with new natural tanning systems. We also work to reduce water consumption, a resource that is essential for leather production but precious to everyone, and which must therefore be preserved. This effort is accompanied by strategies to recover and reuse by-products of the processing cycle, turning them into resources instead of waste.
These steps are a key part of our holistic approach to sustainability, aimed at minimising the carbon footprint of our leathers and promoting a culture of responsible innovation, setting new standards of excellence while respecting the environment and natural resources.
Our Research and Development department engages in a constant analysis of market demands, including those not yet expressed, in an ongoing search for solutions that anticipate customers' ever-changing needs. Our approach ensures that each new market launch not only responds to, but actually drives industry trends.
Patenting initiatives, which cover environmentally friendly tanning methods, advanced finishing techniques and by-product recycling solutions, enable us to protect these innovations and secure a competitive advantage. Thanks to these efforts, Gruppo Mastrotto establishes itself as a leader in quality and sustainability and a pioneer in defining the future of leather processing.
