Next 30–90 days focus on final program definition, capex envelope, permitting path, and ESG pre-certification planning; initiate supplier footprint mapping and workforce pipeline design to support a phased ramp. Management should evaluate eligibility for 5–10% capex incentives and lock key long-lead equipment orders to mitigate 2025 supply constraints.

Over 6–12 months, expect early works, procurement, and pre-certification activities that set the foundation for commissioning. Upon ramp post-commissioning, modeled outcomes include 15–20% reduction in lead times for core leather goods, 1–2 pp gross margin uplift from scale and energy efficiency, and tighter quality control through verticalized processes and artisan training.

A centralized, sustainability-flagship hub strengthens Loewe versus peers expanding manufacturing in France and Italy by combining scale, Spanish leather expertise, and ESG differentiation. Dual Platinum targeting elevates employer brand and customer perception, narrowing the operational moat held by Hermès and raising the bar for Gucci, Prada, and other leather leaders.

Supplier consolidation around Madrid can reduce inbound logistics costs and variability; co-location with training programs should deepen artisan skills and throughput. Customers benefit from faster replenishment of hero SKUs and higher perceived value from transparent, certified production. Partners and logistics providers will need to align to a new node-centric network design.
