NOABRANDS is a global group of visual merchandising brands. Our Brands each have their own unique strengths, but are all united by the same passion, expertise, and determination to advise our retail clients in designing retail spaces that optimize the visuality of their brand and the visibility of their product. Be it through catalog or custom solutions, we build in-store experiences that prompt shoppers to engage and Visualize Anything.
Headquartered in Barcelona, Spain, we are a team of over 600 teammates, brand partners, designers and builders. We have a worldwide footprint with over 200,000 square meters of production facilities in Spain, China, United States, and Mexico, plus showrooms in New York, Colorado, Milan, Paris, Barcelona, and Shanghai and a commercial sales force across the world.
With a strong heritage in the mannequin business - in fact, we are the largest mannequin manufacturer worldwide - we provide a broad array of visual merchandising solutions from busts and forms, product displays, store fixtures, props, as well as the next generation of retail technology.
Across our Brands, we have a bias for serving our global clients with vertically-integrated, on-continent for-continent manufacturing. Our business model ensures end-to-end control of our service, speed, and sustainability, three pillars on which we've built our long-lasting relationships with the world's best retailers.
Our Brands partner with retailers to shape their creative vision, and create engaging, memorable, and emotional in-store experiences.
At NOABRANDS, sustainability is a key pillar of our long-term growth strategy. Our Brands are each deeply involved in the communities in which we operate, and our constant efforts toward reducing the impact of our materials and manufacturing stem from our responsibility towards our global communities. Our latest sustainability initiatives like joining The Fashion Pact and collaborating on materials research with the Polytechnic University of Catalonia and the University of Pennsylvania are big steps in the right direction toward driving change in our industry.
We firmly believe that there is an interplay between supply chain, outsourcing practices and sustainability. That is why our global business model is characterized by a bias for full vertical integration, producing on continent for continent, and ensuring end-to-end control of our global production processes. This enables us to ensure that our downstream impact is properly managed from the source and that clients have a comprehensive picture of the footprint of the products they purchase.

After the holding of the international climate change summit in Glasgow, COP 26, a beam of light has been shed on this arduous path to stop the climate crisis.
However, the general feeling, to use the UN's own words, is that "there is a very large gap between countries' pledges and insufficient action".
Without a shred of doubt, the time has come to put aside the "green" discourse and to start assuming our own responsibilities.
It has been several years since we set ourselves the strategic goal of building a truly sustainable global group. During these years, our sustainable revolution has materialized in profound changes in the corporate's culture but, above all, in concrete actions that have a direct impact on reducing our carbon footprint.
These are some examples of our way of assuming our responsibilities in the fight against climate change:
We have the only organization able to provide a global footprint of production and services to offer regional solutions for global fashion players.
This is possible because NOABRANDS is a vertically integrated group that works with local supply chains, it produces internally in its factories, and in many cases it also manages the distribution of these products. But let's stop here, we continue to dedicate part of our resources to research and innovate solutions that improve the sustainability of our industry
•
Increasing the percentage of recycled raw materials in the manufacture of mannequins.
•
Increasing the percentage of recycled raw materials in the manufacture of mannequins.
•
Introducing new 100% recyclable materials.
•
Improving the efficiency of our production plants.
•
Offering new solutions to our retailers for the collection and recycling of mannequins after the end of their life span.
In conclusion, we want to continue redefining how to create, capture, and deliver value within a circular business model.
NOABRANDS is fully aligned with the objectives of the UNITED NATIONS against climate change. For this reason we are part of multiple programs of the United Nations.
It is composed of large global business corporations that aim to reduce the earth's total temperature increase to a maximum of 1.5°C and achieve zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
It is another United Nations-sponsored initiative that allows leading fashion companies to join forces in the fight against climate change by taking concrete actions and using their influence to create new sustainable tendencies among consumers.
We are also the first visual merchandising group to join the Fashion Pact, a coalition that brings together the most important players in the fashion industry to reduce its environmental impact.
With our commitment, we want to continue to inspire suppliers, communities, and customers to raise ambition in the fight against climate change.
There ́s no time left.
It ́s time to visualize a better world.
