A holding company for the Italian supply chain of excellence and quality.

Altofare Group is supported by White Bridge Investments (a privately-owned Milan-based investment holding company) and today incorporates 11 highly qualified, benchmark Italian companies operating in unfinished and finished metal processing, fashion jewellery, chains for bags and accessories, resin and plastics, special embroideries and footwear accessories.
Altofare Group’s current members are: Gruppo OBI, one of Italy’s main luxury fashion jewellery players; Industrie Testi, which specialises in 100% Made in Italy jewellery and accessories; Tacchificio Monti, a one-stop shop providing everything from initial design to moulded product finishing, and a benchmark for the production of heels, soles and footwear accessories; Lampa, a leading manufacturer of plastics and resin for luxury accessories and fashion jewellery; Griste, a jewellery manufacturer for footwear and accessories; OBI IAB and Conti & Vannelli, two companies offering excellence in the leather goods accessories sector; CDC Luxury Chains, a major player on the global market for high fashion chains; PF-Pressofusioni Fiorentine and SCAF, which both guarantee some of the highest output of unfinished metal (zamak, brass and steel) on the luxury accessories market; Forza Giovane, a centre of excellence in special embroideries and textile fabrications. “We are pleased to announce the establishment of Altofare Group, the holding company of excellence in the 100% Made in Italy supply chain, which aims to consolidate its market-leading role. What sets Altofare Group apart is, on the one hand, the absolute quality of products and fabrications coming from our manufacturers across the country and the recognised dependability they offer and, on the other, the strategic business model we have chosen, bringing the distinctive characteristics of each business into the Group system. This creates a new hub of industrial craftsmanship for the luxury market that highlights the intrinsic value of high-end craft, but does so subtly and above all in a concrete manner,” says Davide Aicardi, managing director of Altofare Group.
