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.

Who hasn’t been enraptured by a sunset or a sunrise? Who hasn’t admired the beauty of a face? Who hasn’t been engrossed by a window display of a great fashion designer’s creations?
And we could go on listing forms of beauty like this. In reality the list could be endless, because beauty is in everything. And of course in fashion.
Yet we need to learn to see beauty. Sometimes it is right in front of us but we cannot make it out. It is something which has to come from within us. It is a subjective quality, appreciated by the person it is conveyed to through their senses.
Fashion has shown its ability over time to draw on various canons of beauty, to blend them, interpret them and sometimes create new ones. Fashion’s significance in society gives it an uncommon capacity to quickly elicit reactions from thousands of people.
As part of the fashion industry, we have a key role to play in promoting beauty, reflection and critical thinking. That’s why we are the first visual merchandising company to deliver a wide range of solutions through our brands including mannequins, buss, forms and product display coupled with state-of-the-art retail technologies.
“Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.”
Francis Bacon
Everything we do is aimed at promoting beauty. To this end we have a multicultural team of designers, craftspeople, sculptors and creatives in our design centres in Barcelona, Denver, Milan, New Jersey and New York who are inspired every day by art, culture and society. Proportion, balance and harmony are our principles.
Yet we don’t just design and produce visual merchandising items which are beautiful in themselves. We partner with the worlds fashion brands and stores to turn our pieces into a way of making the great fashion designers’ creations accessible to people. Our job is to make the extraordinary even more extraordinary: the creations of the best fashion designers.
Beauty is one of our company’s values, not
only because it reflects what we do but also
because it gives meaning to what we do.
When our creativity is added to the creativity of the great fashion designers, what we might call the “multiplier effect” of beauty happens.
Our understanding of beauty goes beyond what we do, beyond the end product, and is reflected in our business vision and more specifically in our sustainable growth model based on ethical grounds and integration with nature. If we see beauty in a broad sense as something innate to humanity, then we will agree that beauty has to be embedded in business.
