Tacchificio Monti: innovation at a sustained pace and the strength of the Altofare Group
Tacchificio Monti, now part of the Altofare Group, embodies Italian manufacturing excellence. As the third generation of a family that has fused creativity and artisanal care with the potential of industrial innovation since 1960, the company has established itself globally in the production of heels, soles, and fashion accessories for the major labels of Made in Italy. This pioneering ambition is supported by investments in cutting- edge technologies and an in-house mold workshop, ensuring both quality and confidentiality. In the dynamic landscape of technology’s role in fashion, the company looks to the future with a pragmatic, growth-oriented approach. Lara Monti, at the helm of the company, shares an insightful perspective on the sector’s new trajectories. Contrary to expectations of singular trends, the market is showing a growing desire for hyper-customization. “There is no single, precise trend; demand is fragmented. Our core business is to meet the specific needs of the client, an approach that has defined us since our founding,” states Monti, emphasizing the company’s dedication to exclusivity. This orientation is also reflected in client engagement: “The trade fair has evolved into a strategic Public Relations platform, rather than a direct channel for orders. It’s an essential moment for networking and positioning,” the entrepreneur notes, acknowledging the trade show’s transformation. Joining the Altofare Group has been a catalyst for internal evolution, generating operational synergies. “We are integrating excellently; it’s a synergy that works and is enhancing our operations. I am very satisfied with the progress we’ve made,” Monti shares. The Group’s efforts are focused on process optimization and installing key personnel. “The Group is streamlining the companies to increase productivity and performance, and we are proactive in this process. Bringing on board a high-profile Head of Industrialization is critical, and the resulting improvements will be evident shortly,” reveals Monti. The keystone is not just technology, but organization.
