Analytical Group

ANALYTICAL GROUP aims to become industry leader in product testing for the fashion world. Founded in 1982, the Group evolved in the testing and product certification sectors, becoming an international point of reference for companies. Specific services in over 80 countries guarantee support in issues of international compliance of products, thanks to lab testing that is accredited worldwide.

For almost 40 years, Analytical Group has been equated with top quality and support in the world of testing and certification, carrying out analysis and tests both in the lab and on-site. The company’s work is based mainly on 3 pillars: Innovation (for an industry 4.0 approach, offering the best available technologies), Expertise (technical experts to drive customer success) and Passion. The Group aims to be an international point of reference for companies and their outsourcing suppliers, offering consultancy services on regulations, labelling and testing procedures in the supply chain, acting in four different sectors (environmental, agrifood, electromechanics and fashion) and with international headquarters to assist customers’ global growth.

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. Meanwhile, 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.
