Manteco was awarded with the very important “2018 Radical Green Award”

Manteco has recently won the “Radical Green Award” as a Green Excellence, all of this thanks to its efforts in improving sustainability and lower the environmental impact. The Prize has been assigned within the “Green Week Festival”, an international event taking place every year in Trento to present state-of-the-art innovative practices in sustainable economy. Manteco is always committed to the Made in Italy tradition: it has never relocated production, even when the trend was to move to more competitive countries, due to the lower cost of labor.  Manteco pursues its philosophy by linking craftsmanship and industrialization. «Our raw materials are controlled and traced up to the farm of origin. We have recently increased our production from recycled fabrics, based on the principles of circular economy, meeting the needs of customers, thanks to advanced finishings to enhance these products, now increasingly requested for reasons of sustainability”. CEO Marco Mantellassi says.

Manteco is proud to celebrate 75 years of business with some exceptional partners: Centro per l’Arte Contemporanea Pecci, 30th year since its foundation and Lungarno Collection, a stylish group of intimate design hotels in the heart of Florence with a strong artistic attitude. A special event, which contains two themes close to the company: Art and Nature. A combination that finds the perfect interpreter in Loris Cecchini, a multidisciplinary artist that for, the occasion, will create a site-specific artwork on the walls of the Gallery Hotel and will remain visible from June to December 2018. The artwork, industrially manufactured and assembled by hand with artisan skills, tells a natural and mineral world through biological and architectural references, creating a particular atmosphere on the border between science and the environment.  Another part of the artwork “Waterbones” has already been installed at the Gallery Hotel in Florence. With this action the artist Loris Cecchini continues the collaboration with Manteco: a modern ‘patronage’ where contemporary art meets the growth, not just economic, of a leading company in the district. A few days ago a Loris Cecchini’s art work, recently purchased by the Mantellassi family, has been installed in the head quarter, created ad hoc and designed to fit perfectly in the company’s entrance. This is a new composition on the theme Waterbones already installed at the Gallery Hotel in Florence. The artist Loris Cecchini continues the binomial with Manteco, a modern ‘patronage’ where contemporary art meets the growth, not only economic, of a leading company in the district.
