In the footwear sector – a field in which customized services are a true added value -, Airily Ab stands out for the ample range of solutions designed to embellish uppers.
A special in-house office helps develop new ideas and fulfil the demands of renowned customers. Ongoing passion and a qualified expertise praised by major brands: these are some of the key points highlighted by Dario Catalano, one of the two business partners at the helm of the company, when we interviewed him.
What can you tell us about the firm’s history?
“Founded to supply the apparel sector, Airily Ab, whose historical headquarters is based in Como province, has been manufacturing accessories for the fashion world for over thirty years. In 2003, a second unit was opened in the Marche region, specialized in the footwear industry. Here, production focuses more on accessories for uppers, decorations and embellishments such as, for example, rhinestones, laser cuts, overlays and prints.”
Do you deal with die-cut articles?
“Through-freed processes are carried out on die-cut items as well as during the phase prior to die-cutting; we manage to handle a variety of materials.”
As for the two production units, do they work in synergy?
“Absolutely. The combination between the skills fostered by the two facilities, really makes the difference for Airily Ab: supported by a team featuring approximately fifty qualified collaborators, our firm is able to manage the whole product manufacturing cycle entirely in-house, ranging from the design phase up to actual production, while ensuring top-notch quality standards and full customer satisfaction.”
What are your main strengths?
“Our strength lies in the ability to manufacture articles tailored to customers’ requirements. Our products are the result of the experience acquired over the years, the byword for our core values, like the professionalism of our corporate staff, the attention to materials quality and the first-rate services provided to the clientele, the latter featuring prominent brands as well. Processes are carried out in-house: in this way, we can develop the customers’ ideas, but also find the most suitable solutions with the support of our own graphic design department.”
