Prada Group has announced its plans to recruit over 400 people by the end of 2023, to strengthen its production capacity and craftsmanship expertise in Italy.
Prada said that the new hires would further reinforce the company’s “strong industrial strategy”.
It also stated that the investment would guarantee “greater agility and a reduction of time-to-market”.
Prada Group already carries out all quality checks on raw materials and finished products as well as managing all logistics internally.
The fashion group said that more than 200 new professionals will be trained over the next year by the group’s maestros, across leather goods, footwear and ready-to-wear.
Massimo Vian, industrial director of Prada S.p.A., said: “Prada Group continues to invest in its supply chain, consistent with what was announced during our Capital Markets Day at the end of 2021.
“We have an ongoing commitment to strengthen the industrial backbone of the group, while being respectful of our long-time suppliers. Today, we are proud to announce more than 400 new jobs which will support the group’s growth in the coming years.”
She added: “The Prada Group Academy will become increasingly crucial for the future preservation of our know-how and the one of the sector. We feel a responsibility to invest in young talent who will become the next generation of expert craftspeople.”
