Managing Board – BMB Manifattura Borse

What we pride ourselves in bmb is the great wealth of expertise within our organization.

This has been created over the course of our long history, dotted with important collaborations with luxury brands, the skill of craftsmen and the passion of every single worker who has passed through our company over time.

We drew on the visions of creative geniuses with the aim of continually improving our arts and crafts.
All this made possible by the entrepreneurial spirit that has always distinguished the essence of BMB Manifattura Borse.

Today this spirit is renewed through the contribution of a new management that has been able to seize market opportunities by pushing the company to new challenges, believing in its own resources.

The management buy-out in 2019 followed the reorganization and modernization of the company, leading BMB to compete with the best leather goods groups in the Scandicci industrial district.
