Luxury material Alcantara, produced and marketed exclusively by Alcantara S.p.A., has built a unique position in the world as a world-class global luxury brand based on the concept of “Made in Italy”, with all Italian management. At the time of its introduction, Alcantara was adopted for fashion and interior applications; its usage then gradually spread to various sectors including consumer electronics, aviation and maritime in addition to its main sector of application, automotive.
