Sustainability, innovation but also the search for new qualified talents: according to the Plaginsa Group, these are the winning elements to make the difference in an increasingly evolving and demanding market
The company Plaginsa was founded in 1983 by Gaspar Navarro Mora and is currently helmed by his son Javier Navarro Dura. Plaginsa is a global leader in the manufacture of rubber sheets. With a management model built on innovation, flexibility and decades of experience, the Plaginsa Group is a benchmark in the footwear industry and beyond. The company also has a strong presence in sectors like construction, agriculture and sports, demonstrating its versatility and ability to adapt to ever-evolving markets.
“Our strength lies in our ability to listen to our customers’ needs and offer innovative, customized solutions,” says José M. Molero, Sales Department Manager for the Spanish company. “Sustainability has always been a core value for us. We constantly invest in research and development to create eco-friendly products without compromising on quality or performance.”
At the latest edition of Lineapelle, Plaginsa showcased its newest colors and finishes for its rubber sheets, staying ahead of trends while maintaining a strong focus on sustainability.
“Sustainability is an increasingly pressing demand from the market,” Molero continues. “Our company is Vegan Approved and Ready For Eco Designed certified. Our products are made with a high percentage of recycled materials and we never compromise on quality. This allows us to meet the needs of consumers who are increasingly mindful of the environmental impact of their choices.” Despite the current challenges in the footwear sector, including shrinking consumption and growing competition, Plaginsa remains optimistic about the future. One of the main challenges for the industry is attracting new talent. “The future of the footwear sector is undoubtedly a hot topic. We are seeing some uncertainty due to a number of factors, including evolving consumer tastes, especially among younger generations, and the difficulty in finding qualified talent,” admits Molero. “The challenge for our sector will be to adapt to these changes by innovating products and processes to meet the needs of a constantly evolving market.”
