MTWH, Castelli Calepio (Italy)

Manufacturer of metal applications for the luxury goods industry

Profile

Founded in 2018 in Castelli Calepio, near Bergamo, MTW Holding designs and manufactures high-quality metal accessories for major iconic luxury fashion brands. Its offerings include belt buckles, clasps, fittings for handbags, shoes and clothing, as well as jewelry or emblems, crafted from materials such as zamak, steel, plastic and brass. 

At the time of the investment, the Group oversaw three companies that were complementary in terms of product range and customer relations: Metalworks, Mengoni & Nassini, and FGF. The Group’s expansion accelerated with the acquisition of Fixo in 2022, followed by Florenradica and the Metalstudio group in 2023. The acquisition of Metalstudio group was a transformative milestone, enabling MTW Holding to double its turnover and further strengthen its strategic position as the Italian center of excellence for accessories in the luxury market.

A crucial and vital factor in the Group's success is the ability to transform customers' design ideas into high-quality, market-ready products in a matter of days. Another key factor that plays an important role is the proximity to Italian and French haute couture brands, which are highly dependent on the innovation and creativity of their suppliers. In fact, in 2021 the Group opened a sales office in Paris in order to deepen relations with French luxury goods brands.

MTW Holding employees more than 650 people at its production sites near Bergamo, Florence and Padua.
