Italian brand Bulgari has inaugurated its new jewelry manufacturing facility in Valenza, Italy, on March 17. According to a press release, the 14,000-square-meter site expands Bulgari’s exclusively “made in Italy” manufacturing network, and promises to create 300 new jobs by 2020.
In addition to its new facility in Valenza, Bulgary has manufacturing facilities in Rome, Florence, Lodi and Como. The only brand items manufactured outside of Italy, according to Bulgari, are its watches, which are made in Switzerland.
Jean-Christophe Babin, CEO of Bulgari, said that the new facility “is a perfect fusion of past and present, bringing together a love of beauty and the artisanal savoir-faire that has made Italy the world leader in jewelry and goldsmithing”.
