“Today is a really important day for us, for our entire group, for Holding Morelli, which we founded in 2020 as a reaction to one of the most difficult moments we all faced, and which anticipates the supply chain aggregation strategies pursued by large international investment funds, tracing the strategic line of our medium-term business plan. Holding Morelli holds majority stakes in Pellemoda, Hostage, Marbles and Laboratorio PELLEMODA, which together make up a group that has been working for decades making quality, customer satisfaction, international and domestic, and the well-being of its employees some of its main objectives. This is a new point of arrival for all of us and perhaps one of the most important moments since our company moved to Empoli, to the Terrafino industrial area, to this historic production site for Italian fashion and for Empoli manufacturing.This new Hub has strategic and symbolic significance:Strategic because for us it is a decisive qualitative leap that brings substantial novelties in the purely organizational aspect and, guided by one of the values in which we firmly believe, which is the protection of the environment in which we operate, we have made this site eco-sustainable with practically zero impact, an achievement that represents an investment of 5 million euros globally, a philosophy that we have been pursuing now for over 20 years both for our companies, for our supply chain and as a message that we want to convey to our employees and our stakeholders. We also believe it is a symbolic step because it represents an innovation and a further step forward in our path of development and research of a better way to produce, to make quality, to make our company more and more a point of reference and to make Empoli and this whole area even more a place where fashion has its own innovative and globally recognized reality.”declares Azzurra Morelli CEO Hostage along with Giampaolo Morelli and Martino Mazzoni .
