Italian Productions

What Italian Productions does

Italian Productions Co., Ltd is a Vietnamese-based leather goods manufacturer operating as a 100% Italian foreign direct investment entity, founded in 2003 by Elio Contigiani and David Contigiani. The company's operational lineage extends to the early 1990s, when its principals partnered with Hashofa (Vietnam); this heritage anchors its Italian craft identity in a Vietnamese cost structure. Its 5,000 m² facility in Thanh Oai Industrial Zone, Hanoi, is staffed by 350+ skilled craftsmen.

Production is conducted on a full Italian-standard machinery line — including GALLI, CAMOGA, JUKI, ELITRON, and ATOM equipment — and covers leather bags, wallets, belts, and keychains, plus a Mex Texon materials line that supplies industrial buyers. The company's primary go-to-market is B2B export to buyers in Italy and the USA, supplemented more recently by a direct-to-consumer e-commerce channel via the company website. As a privately held, undisclosed-revenue manufacturer, it monetizes through contract manufacturing of finished leather goods and, increasingly, supply of upstream materials to international customers.
