Analytical Group was founded in Arzignano, Vicenza, an area well-known as a manufacturing hub in the industry of leather working and crafting. Testing of leather, fabrics, metallic accessories and all types of finished products (both for kids and adult markets) represent the core of their daily work. Other specialized laboratories in the fashion sector can be found in the Shoewear Polytechnic of Vigonza (province of Padua) and Scandicci, Florence, both of which are renowned manufacturing sites, as well as China, where various hubs have been established through a partnership with the government testing agency where over 3,000 people are employed, most of whom working in the analysis of materials and finished products.

The Group has also unveiled new tests to evaluate the presence of genetically modified cotton in fabric samples. GMO screening leads to a clear answer (yes/no) on the presence of genetically modified cotton in the tested sample. This is a clear benefit for manufacturers, brands and retailers in terms of supply chain transparency and fraud management.

Since 2014, thanks to its AConsulting brand, ANALYTICAL GROUP has offered its customers all-round compliance services with specialists and offices dedicated to the creation of supply specifications, Market Access reports for access to international markets, legislation updates, REACH/RoHS service and projects for production sustainability in the supply chain.
