Louis Vuitton opens a sports shoe factory in Italy

The site will open by the end of 2023 and will employ 500 people

The French luxury brand Louis Vuitton will inaugurate a sports footwear plant, covering approximately 10 thousand square meters, in the city of Civitanova Marche, a region of central Italy.

The new Louis Vuitton factory is expected to open by the end of 2023 and could have at least 500 employees.

“The global giant of French luxury will build in our industrial area, by 2023, a new plant for the production of sports shoes mainly for men and women. The structure will be made entirely of wood, glass and steel and will have zero environmental impact. In such a difficult moment, it is a source of pride and great satisfaction to be able to welcome a group of the caliber of Louis Vuitton that will bring a new development in the footwear sector of this territory “, Fabrizio Ciarapica, the mayor of Civitanova Marche, told ANSA.

The town, which is located in the Marche region, is known for being an important footwear hub in Italy.

Louis Vuitton, in turn, is the leading brand of the French luxury group LVMH, led by the Arnault family, which owns 10% of the Tod’s group, led by brothers Diego and Andrea Della Valle. .
