Mario Levi

Mario Levi Group is an Italian tannery group based in Turin. It has supplied leather interior solutions for more than 70 years. Its core business is leather upholstery for the automotive sector, and its work also reaches the railway, aerospace and bus sectors.

The group tans and finishes hides in house. It cuts leather parts and makes sewn leather linings, a process it has offered for more than ten years. It also produces finished, sealed interior parts for its customers, so the work moves from raw hide through to the finished interior.

In the automotive sector the group supports customers from styling and creative work, through research and development, to the launch of a product in production. It works with the most important car makers and presents its automotive offer as its core business.

In the railway sector, the group supplies linings for carriages made from high quality leather. The leather is tanned with environmentally friendly products. The products meet European railway standards, including EN 45545 and DIN 5510.

The group is also active in aeronautics, rail and bus interiors. Its work in these sectors draws on its tanning and finishing know-how and on its quality controls.

Mario Levi Group is taking part in a research project with MOGU to develop a lightweight, bio-based mycelium material for vehicle interior linings. The project runs for 12 months, started in July 2024, and is funded through the Italian National Centre for Sustainable Mobility. Its aim is a material that weighs about a third of traditional interior materials.

The group has offices and production sites in Turin and Rivoli, and it presents itself as a global supplier with a presence in Europe, America and Asia.
