What TGP does

T.G.P. srl is a privately held Italian manufacturer founded in 1986 and headquartered in San Mauro Pascoli, province of Forlì-Cesena. The company's core business is the production of ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) heels, wedges, and platforms for the footwear industry, with a stated daily capacity of 20,000 pairs and supply relationships spanning Italian footwear manufacturers and major international fashion brands. Approximately 20 years ago the company extended its ABS processing capabilities into a secondary line of luxury interior design objects — including cladding tiles, mirrors, light plaques, coat hooks, and coffee tables — marketed to the contract and interior design sector.

TGP's technical differentiation centers on the ability to perform galvanic treatments (chrome plating, metallic finishes, precious metal coatings) and other finishes such as thick enamelling and laser engraving on ABS, which is typically non-conductive. The company has accumulated an archive of approximately 10,000 unique finishes over 35+ years and holds a patent on backlit mirror frames combining MDF structure with chromed ABS tile cladding and integrated lighting. Production is concentrated at the single San Mauro Pascoli facility, which the company describes as combining artisanal techniques with industrial processes.

The business operates on a B2B wholesale and commission basis, selling directly to footwear manufacturers and luxury fashion brands with customized specifications rather than through standardized pricing. Revenue, ownership, and headcount are not publicly disclosed. Marketing is conducted via the company's bilingual (Italian/English) website, Italian business directories, and direct phone contact for quote requests.
