Alcantara

Founded in 1972, Alcantara represents one of the leading Made in Italy brands. A registered trademark of Alcantara S.p.A. and the result of unique and proprietary technology, Alcantara® is a highly innovative material offering an unparalleled combination of sensory, aesthetic, and functional qualities. Thanks to its extraordinary versatility, Alcantara is the chosen material for leading brands in many fields of application: fashion and accessories, the automotive industry, interior design, yatching, aviation and consumer-electronics. These characteristics, combined with a serious and certified commitment to sustainability, mean that Alcantara expresses and defines the contemporary lifestyle.

Since 2009 Alcantara has been certified as “Carbon Neutral”, having defined, reduced and offset all the CO2 emissions deriving from its activity, including not only the production process, but also use and disposal of the product itself (“from cradle to grave”). To document its progress in this area, Alcantara annually prepares and publishes a Sustainability Report, certified by BDO and available on the company's website. Alcantara's headquarters are in Milan, while the production plant and research centre are in Nera Montoro, in the heart of Umbria (Terni).
