The story of this collective enterprise (where each business partner is, at the same time, worker and entrepreneur), focused on the design, production and sale of small metal parts to be used in the fashion industry, started in 1980; since then, it has managed to gain the confidence of a demanding clientele, both from Italy and, most of all, from abroad, that always keeps a watchful eye on details.
More than 300 customers including wholesalers, manufacturers of complementary items, factories, clothing, jeans as well as footwear brands: they all rely on the quality and precision of the creations designed by Minucoop in order to give life to their collections. The comprehensive selection in terms of products is guaranteed by a high automation level and advanced machinery: the majority of the resources of the company has been invested in production facilities and equipment. Currently, the headquarters located in Cornegliana (in the town Due Carrare, near Padua) hosts more than forty skilled business associates/employees working on a surface amounting to 17,000 square meters (out of which 7,000 indoor) owned by the cooperative. The firm is provided with the following structures: a technical office for design and customization, a workshop, a well-equipped assembly department, a spacious warehouse for stocking both raw materials and semi-finished products, ready to be promptly processed according to the requests in the orders. Moreover, the sales/accounting department and the office for the development of the orders allow to handle all of the goods within 16 working hours. The small metal parts are manufactured thanks to the peculiar technique called cold drawing through specific moulds assembled within the company itself. Minucoop uses only certified Italian galvanic treatments and, beyond the standard catalogue, the company can also provide products in a short time, available either in custom-made sizes or featuring personalized finishes.
