Zeplast

Ethica Group once again supports FTC (Filiera Toscana della Calzatura) in its buy and build growth

Ethica Group, through its M&A Advisory team, advised FTC, a specialized platform of subcontractors operating exclusively in the luxury footwear sector, in completing the acquisition of Zeplast, a manufacturer of soles and other plastic components for footwear. Suolificio Ars-Suola, a company specializing in heel-and-tail soles for women’s shoes, will also join the platform.

The aggregation of selected players operating in the same supply chain aims to leverage the expertise of artisan entrepreneurs while streamlining their operations. FTC’s goal is to offer integrated solutions to address the new complexities of the luxury market, promoting a traceable and sustainable artisanal supply chain, and contributing to the development of local professionalism and skills.
