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.

Fashion for Global Climate Action is an initiative sponsored by THE UNITED NATIONS that allows the most important corporations in this industry to join forces to fight against climate change, carrying out concrete measures and using their influence on the way of thinking and creation of new trends. Fashion is both a mirror and a loudspeaker for millions of people around the world.
For NOABRANDS, the signing of the Fashion Industry Charter for Climate Action constitutes another step in its strategy of leading the transformation of the visual merchandising industry towards sustainability.
In line with the principles and targets enshrined in the Charter and the aims of the Paris Agreement, our organization commits to a 30% GHG emissions reduction by 2030 and we will strive towards decarbonization of the production phase, selection of climate friendly and sustainable materials, low-carbon transport, improved consumer dialogue and awareness, working with the financing community and policymakers to catalyze scalable solutions, and exploring circular business models.
We are also the first visual merchandising group to have joined the Fashion Pact, a coalition that brings together its most significant players in the fashion industry to reduce its environmental impact.
We are at the forefront in researching new materials, collaborating with institutions such as the Polytechnic University of Catalonia and the University of Pennsylvania. And in recent years we have promoted Waste to Energy Plans in the US and the EU and the biodiversity blueprint. They are big steps in the right direction to drive change in our industry.
“By signing the Charter, we have demonstrated our commitment to play our part to ensure the fashion sector is on the path to a low-carbon future”.
Davide Maria Soli, Sustainability Director, NOABRANDS
All our brands are strongly committed to sustainability policies and some of them constitute a benchmark within the industry. They are oriented to serve 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.
With this corporate culture, we hope our commitment will inspire our customers, communities and governments to raise their climate ambition in a united effort to limit global warming to 1.5°C. This is a race we can—and must—win to avoid significantly worsening the risk of droughts, floods, extreme heat and poverty for hundreds of millions of people.
“The Fashion Industry Charter for Climate Action offers an opportunity to do something that is both visible, concrete, and certainly within our reach”.
Patricia Espinosa, Executive Secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
