ACBC, an Italian consulting, innovation, and development firm in the fashion and luxury sectors, has entered into a partnership with T2T (Together 2 Transform), an international company with 25 years of experience in R&D and in sourcing fabrics and products for fashion brands.
The collaboration was established to offer the market an integrated platform of expertise to support brands in developing increasingly innovative materials and products, and to combine their complementary know-how across the entire product supply chain.
In a landscape where supply chains are becoming increasingly complex, European EPR regulations will soon take effect, and speed, development, quality, innovation, and sustainability are becoming ever more critical, ACBC and T2T aim to combine their complementary expertise.
On the one hand, ACBC brings its expertise in strategic consulting, product innovation, research and development of materials and processes, eco-design, circularity-oriented design, and optimization of the entire product development cycle.
On the other hand, T2T boasts established expertise in the research and development of innovative materials, as well as in the development and production of apparel, sportswear, workwear, and lifestyle products, thanks to an international sourcing network of partners spread across Europe, Africa, and Asia and a deep understanding of global sourcing dynamics.
The platform will enable customers to access an operational model that reduces process complexity, accelerates time-to-market, and strengthens the ability to develop products characterized by high levels of innovation, quality, and sustainability, while ensuring high standards of efficiency, transparency, and control throughout the supply chain.
To support its new international expansion, ACBC has opened a new Spanish office in Sitges, near Barcelona, at T2T’s headquarters. This step represents a strategic foothold in the Iberian and international markets and strengthens the synergy between the two companies, fostering collaboration among their respective teams and a more direct dialogue with brands, manufacturers, and industrial partners.
“The fashion industry is undergoing a profound transformation that requires increasingly cross-functional expertise and a concrete ability to integrate innovation, product development, and sourcing,” said Gio Giacobbe, CEO and co-founder, ACBC.
“The partnership with T2T stems from this shared vision: to combine complementary areas of excellence to offer brands comprehensive support in apparel development, placing innovation, sustainability, and competitiveness at the center. “The opening of our office in Spain represents another step in ACBC’s internationalization journey and demonstrates our commitment to being ever closer to our clients and strategic partners,” he added.
“For over 25 years, we have been helping brands build robust, reliable, and future-oriented supply chains,” said Jordi Blasco, founder and general manager, T2T.
“Our partnership with ACBC stems from a shared vision of the future of lifestyle: combining technical expertise, innovation, and responsibility to create greater value throughout the supply chain. Together, we can offer our clients a unique proposition that combines product development, industrialization, and international sourcing with a strong focus on innovation and sustainability,” Blasco continued.
