Niccolò MION
President, MION S.p.a.
Niccolò Mion was born in Padua on 18/06/1980, he graduated from classical studies and in 2001, parallel to his studies in Law (that he never completed), he began his career in MION S.p.a., his family company leader for 50 years in the production of woven labels for the clothing market.
Following his commercial vocation, Niccolò is involved, first, in the development of sales in the North American market and, during the subsequent years, of the main European markets. In 2008 he takes over the commercial direction of the company and enters the Board.
As it happens in many Italian medium-sized companies, tensions of a generational nature do not allow a smooth and gradual transition between the father and Niccolò at the helm of MION, to the point that, in September 2011, his father excludes Niccolò from the Board of Administration, forcing him to leave.
Niccolò's subsequent work experiences, from 2012 to 2016, are in Turin, as Country Manager for A-TEX, a Danish multinational active in the clothing accessories trade and in Bologna, as Country Manager of NEW ERA, an American company, worldwide leader in the production of caps and clothing under license.
On 2nd July 2016 Niccolò's father suddenly disappears, causing his immediate return to MION, of which he is, since then, President and co-owner, together with his sister Cecilia (who, however, has no operational roles).
Today MION, with its 150 employees, two production plants, a turnover of ca. 15M euros and a net profit of 15% is the leading manufacturing reality, at European level, for branding accessories for high-end clothing.
