About Gruppo Vecchia Toscana S.p.A.

Founded in 1957 by Guglielmo Testai, Gruppo Vecchia Toscana has evolved into a leading Italian tannery producing chrome and vegetable-tanned bovine and calf leather for luxury footwear, apparel, leather goods, and upholstery. Headed by Valerio Testai and his son Francesco (third generation), the group expanded through strategic acquisition of ILCEA in 2014 and creation of its Multipel division. Operating a fully integrated 18,000 m² Tuscan facility (plus 2,500 m² expansion in 2019), it emphasizes craftsmanship, innovation, and sustainability—allocating ~5 % of turnover annually to R&D, holding ISO 9001/14001 and LWG Gold certification, and deploying energy/water reduction measures since 2021.
