- 8. Reshoring: causes and benefits ? In 2014 Piquadro abandoned its factories in China where 80% of goods sold where produced. ? There are different causes that pushed Marco Palmieri to take this decision: 1. Labour costs rose by 58% in the last years ¨C ten years ago labor in China costed ten times less than now, today the difference consistently decreased to one/third 2. At the same time, costs of provisions increased as well as transports of raw materials that raised the final costs of goods. 3. The need for quality. China didn¡¯t provide the same Italian quality. Italy carries on a manufacture¡¯s quality which is one of the top in the industry.
- 9. 4. M. Palmieri wanted to re-establish the philosphy of Made in Italy that nowadays is higly requested, particularly from overseas, where a huge quality of products is expected. 5. The hypothesis to produce and to sell the product directly there was not adapted, because of the strict purchasing power of Chinese consumers, particularly for the ¡°premium¡± collection, whose cost is pretty high. Focusing on reshoring, Piquadro has been able to refocus an important slice of its business in the domestic country, exploiting diverse advantages: A. A deep concentration of human labor that brings to the firm rapidity of product¡¯s execution, flexibilty and the plus of ¡°made in Italy¡±. B. Take advantage of the fili¨¨re productive, where raw materials can be found within 100 km, considering it as a big value that few companies have. C. Creation of employment thanks to the creation of new mills.
- 10. D. The e-commerce: Piquadro allowed people to create their favorite product directly on the website of the company, enabling customers to shape the product according to their tastes. Through e-commerce the firm exploited the advantage of the mass customization that would not have been possible from China because of the time of shipping and processing. To conclude, M. Palmieri affirmed his will to bring back almost the 40% of production to Italy.
