HISTORY
Growing together with our clients.
PratikaGroup's story begins in the early 1980s in Tuscany, the beating heart of Italian footwear and leather goods manufacturing. What started as a small entrepreneurial project in Valdinievole soon transformed into a solid reality that expanded to other key areas like the Leather and Footwear District and Valdarno, then opened to international markets. Our presence in these excellence districts allowed us to work with the most important fashion brands that have their production headquarters here. This collaboration enabled us to understand the fashion system's particular needs and acquire exclusive industry expertise that still distinguishes us today. In the 1990s, PratikaGroup seized new opportunities arising from production relocation processes by opening operational offices in Serbia and Tunisia and extending our presence in the Mediterranean basin, Eastern Europe, Asia, and South America.
