According to its Chairman Moretti Polegato, Diadora plans to reshore 10% of its production activities back to Italy. The objective is to produce 100 thousand pairs of footwear later this year and cover 7-10% of the production across all of product lines in the next three years. The rest of the production is still produced in China, Thailand and Vietnam. Currently, there are 5% of productions carried out by in-house production and Italian suppliers. Polegato said that having the internal production line is very positive for a company like Diadora pointing on product innovation. In addition, “made in Italy” offers Diadora a unique quantification and enables Diadora to track carbon footprint so that control the environmental impact of the production chain. There are now 6 people employed in the reopened plant and it is expected to rise to 9.
