Rino Mastrotto (formerly Rino Mastrotto Group S.p.A.) is an Italian company that produces and finishes leather and textiles for the fashion, automotive and furniture sectors.
History The company's origins date to 1958, when Arciso Mastrotto began a leather-tanning business in Trissino.
In 2010 the group acquired Elmo Sweden AB, a Swedish producer of leather for the automotive and furniture sectors.
In August 2019, Matteo Mastrotto was appointed CEO of Rino Mastrotto Group. In the same year, private equity fund NB Renaissance Partners, the Italian private equity business of Neuberger Berman, acquired a controlling stake in the Group from the Mastrotto family, which retained a significant minority interest and continued to hold key management roles.
Following the 2019 investment, the group pursued a diversification through a series of acquisitions, including the U.S. distributor Carroll Leather (2021) and the fabric manufacturer Tessitura Oreste Mariani (2022). On 24 October 2024, at the Milano Fashion Global Summit Rino Mastrotto received an award for best growth strategy.
In June 2025, Prada Group announced a strategic investment giving it a 10% minority stake in Rino Mastrotto, combining a cash investment with the contribution of two tanneries, Conceria Superior S.p.A. (Tuscany) and Tannerie Limoges S.A.S. (France). In July 2025, Rino Mastrotto and the Marzotto Group launched Jacqart, a home-textiles company created by merging Rino Mastrotto's Imatex with Marzotto's Prosetex unit, with Rino Mastrotto holding 60% and Marzotto 40%.
Operations Rino Mastrotto produces leather and textiles and provides services such as cutting, embossing, printing and decorative finishing, mainly for the luxury fashion, automotive and interior-design sectors. The group works in several countries, including Italy, Sweden, Brazil and the United States. The group operated around ten plants, employed neat 1,300–1,500 people across five continents, and reported turnover of approximately €360 million for 2024.
As of 2026, the company is owned by the Mastrotto family together with Renaissance Partners, with Prada Group holding a 10% minority stake acquired in June 2025.
Sustainability In 2025, Rino Mastrotto published a sustainability report and has cited a research project, branded "Hearth" (also rendered "Heart"), that it says reduces water use in the retanning, dyeing and fatliquoring stages of leather production. At the same year, the company received an EcoVadis Gold Medal.
