Grown into a prominent name in the Italian accessories industry, SKA Italia develops quality, innovative solutions conceived to meet the demands for style and elegance set by the most important fashion brands. A corporate history dating back to the postwar period and a progressive growth that has helped the firm gain international recognition and support from the most renowned fashion and luxury brands – in other words, the ideal partner to a high- end clientele on the lookout for stylish, high-performance and safe products in line with the main safety specifications. SKA Italia is the brainchild of the passion as well as of the long-standing experience acquired by the Colombini family in the design, making and sales of zippers: an international success that puts in the limelight the finest Italian creativity and a well-established know-how enthusiastically handed down from one generation to another. Thanks to the steady investments in R&D activities, the company, that owns a production plant both in Padua and in China, launches state-of-the-art, functional technical solutions featuring a captivating design, unmatchable yield levels as well as a competitive price/quality ratio. The corporate technicians work side by side with the customers so as to better understand one’s specific needs and provide the most suitable models: the skillful combination of craft workmanship and modern processing systems allows the firm to fulfill in a flexible and effective way the requests of an ever-changing, increasingly sophisticated market. All the articles comprised in the catalogue have been prized with the Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certification and fully comply with the minimum requirements set by the strict Class I concerning textile items for newborns and children up to 3 years of age; moreover, metals and other materials are carefully selected, thus falling in line with the current regulations for the protection of the consumer’s health and safety. The products manufactured by SKA Italia are conceived to be used in several sectors, starting with the apparel branch – both classic and sporty – that accounts for the most consistent share of the corporate turnover. Equally positive have been the feedbacks from the leatherware industry, through important partnerships with renowned fashion houses, and, more recently, from the footwear market, thanks to trendy solutions designed to enhance even the most refined collections. www.skaitalia.com
