Italian leather specialist Pasubio, backed by PAI Partners, announced the purchase of textile maker Luilor. Luilor supplies fabrics to high‑end furniture designers and fashion houses, adding a new dimension to Pasubio’s portfolio, which has traditionally focused on automotive and luxury leather. The transaction follows Pasubio’s 2021 acquisition of the business from CVC and aims for sustainable materials.

The Biagioni family, founders of Luilor, will roll their equity into the holding company that controls Pasubio, joining the existing shareholder roster. Their involvement secures continuity of Luilor’s design expertise while aligning incentives with Pasubio’s growth strategy. Investors see the move as a way to broaden exposure to luxury interiors beyond leather and deepen its foothold in the Italian market.

By integrating textile production, Pasubio can offer a full suite of surface materials to premium automakers, furniture makers and fashion brands, potentially improving margins through vertical integration. The deal, though undisclosed financially, signals private‑equity confidence in consolidating fragmented luxury supply chains across Europe, enhancing its competitive edge globally.
