Our company was founded in 2012 and has always had a unique mission: to create products that respect animals, the environment, and people. Our garments are 100% animal-free and cruelty-free. We strive to create products that do not involve the exploitation of animals, thanks to cutting-edge technologies that allow us to use sustainable materials. Respect for the environment is in our DNA: for this reason, we use recycled raw materials from certified sources. Our aim is to provide a wide range of products that are sustainable and respect nature: real must-haves that can be worn every day, for all occasions. In 2019 we obtained a B Corp certification and became a benefit company. One more step toward a more ethical and sustainable idea of business.

Siamo nati nel 1982 da un sogno di Marina Salamon che decise di specializzarsi in vestiti per bambini. Il team di lavoro gestisce tutta la filiera produttiva: dal design alla produzione fino alla distribuzione finale. Realizziamo collezioni in stretta collaborazione con le case madri e con un’identità ben precisa e riconoscibile, sempre nel rispetto della filosofia dei brand. Ogni nuovo progetto rappresenta una grande opportunità di crescita, negli anni abbiamo acquisito un importante know how per la produzione di qualsiasi tipologia del childrenswear: dai capispalla alle t-shirts, dalla cerimonia al denim. I nostri primari obiettivi sono offrire un prodotto di elevata qualità e garantire un servizio eccellente. Produciamo e distribuiamo in licenza le collezioni Moschino Baby Kid Teen (con un accordo di licenza decennale) e dal 2017 la collezione Jeremy Scott Kids. IN COSA SIAMO SPECIALI Altana è prima di tutto una squadra. Un gruppo di professionisti affiatati, con una forte maggioranza di donne – il 94% dell’ intero organico. In Altana si respira un’aria carica di dinamicità, entusiasmo, ma anche di creatività e sensibilità, il tutto consolidato da un forte senso di appartenenza che accomuna trasversalmente tutta la struttura LA HOLDING ALCHIMIA Altana srl fa parte del gruppo Alchimia spa, un'importante holding di partecipazioni, controllata al 100% da Marina Salamon. Nel corso degli anni, ha continuato a rafforzarsi patrimonialmente, capitalizzando integralmente gli utili maturati dalle società partecipate, a servizio della loro crescita, e destinando una parte dei profitti a progetti benefici (weboflife.com). Oltre ad Altana, Alchimia controlla Doxa spa (doxa.it), la maggiore società italiana di ricerche di mercato – inclusa la partecipata Doxa Pharma – e Connexia (connexia.com) società dedicata alla comunicazione web, realtà nata nel 1997 che continua a crescere a doppia cifra di anno in anno. Alchimia opera anche nel settore finanziario (è azionista di Banca Ifis, quotata nel segmento Star della Borsa di Milano) ed in quello immobiliare. Sensibile alla sostenibilità ambientale, nel tempo il gruppo ha investito anche nella produzione di energia solare, costruendo parchi fotovoltaici attraverso la società Alchimia Energy. Nel corso del 2014 ha acquisito la società Forest srl, produttrice e distributrice del marchio di abbigliamento Save the Duck, da cui è uscita nel 2018 dopo aver triplicato fatturati e redditività, per passare il testimone a Progressio Sgr, importante fondo di Private Equity italiano.

I mondi che compongono questo “universo di comunicazione” sono Doxa, Doxa Pharma, Doxa Marketing Advice, Doxa Metrics, Duepuntozero Research, Connexia, Altana, THINGS, Doxa Digital e iCorporate. Nomi diversi per società diverse, ognuna con il suo percorso, ma tutte parte di una storia comune in continua evoluzione.
