Ermenegildo Zegna Group is investing in a new production hub near Parma. The Made in Italy luxury player will open a new factory dedicated to footwear and leather goods in the town of Sala Baganza by the end of 2026. The project, the company explained in a note, "stems from the desire to further expand its production capacity and to strengthen and enhance Italian craftsmanship”. The pole, which on completion will employ more than 300 people in a space of about 12,500 square meters on 10 hectares of land, will also serve as an important research and development center, strengthening the group's capacity in "made-to-measure" production, thus meeting growing customer demands for customization. The facility's production activity will thus meet the development needs related to the group's brands (which in addition to the Zegna brand includes Thom Browne and the Tom Ford license), focus mainly on luxury men's footwear and leather goods, and also support the further growth of the flagship fashion house's Triple Stitch model. The investment echoes an extremely positive period for Ermenegildo Zegna Group: which announced revenues of 1.9 billion euros in the last fiscal year, up 27.6 percent from the previous year.
