Céline doubles its presence in Tuscany
27/07/2017
The LVMH-owned brand already operates a manufacturing plant in the Chianti region, also in Tuscany.
It will invest €20 million euros in the new facility, which will create around 340 jobs. A temporary site has already started production. There are currently around 30 employees working there following the completion of six-week training course.
Céline chairman, Séverine Merle, said the brand chose Tuscany for its new facility due to its “know-how and high levels of craftsmanship”.
As part of the project, Céline has signed a five-year agreement with the local Tuscan government to develop training and research related to industry 4.0 in the region.
