The Automobile Awards 2023 ceremony, an event dedicated to the world of mobility, took place in the prestigious setting of the Automobile Club de France in Paris.

The sixth edition of the event brought together 53 brands, including carmakers and suppliers to the automotive industry, vying for the 23 award categories: from the safest vehicle to the most innovative concept car.

INNOVATION AWARD

The jury, made up of experts and enthusiasts from the world of motoring, awarded Alcantara the “Coup de Coeur LR 66” prize given to the brand that has most distinguished itself during the year through its actions and pioneering spirit.

This award, presented in front of an audience of major car manufacturers and suppliers, confirms Alcantara’s unique role in the automotive world in terms of innovation, high performance and sustainable development.

For over 50 years, Alcantara has set itself the goal of offering its customers highly customised, innovative and tailor-made solutions by combining advanced technology and craftsmanship.

All characterised by 100% Made in Italy quality.

Andrea Boragno, President of Alcantara, said: “We are thrilled to receive this “Coup de Coeur LR 66” award, which recognises not only our commitment to constant innovation, but also our commitment to sustainable development. We introduced a range of products partially derived from certified post-consumer recycled polyester and accelerated research into end-of-life recycling.”

This approach confirms Alcantara’s ongoing commitment to maximum transparency and a fact-based approach to sustainability since 2009, with the achievement of the coveted Carbon Neutrality* certification and the annual publication of the Sustainability Report

Carbon Neutrality certification is based on offsetting greenhouse gas emissions by purchasing carbon credits from Certified and Verified Offsetting Projects.

THE HISTORY

Alcantara’s creative history spans more than four decades. The invention of this unique material in the 1970s represented a real technological breakthrough that remains unequalled even today, and it is thanks to this that the product has been able to maintain its cutting-edge, unique qualities over time. Alcantara was originally a result of a Japanese patent. Italy was immediately chosen as the location to realize this dream material, which continues to evolve even today, developing new perspectives all the time.

The daily commitment is also founded on the dedication to the quality of the material produced. This is recognized by millions of users all over the world, and proven by a number of certifications issued by prestigious international bodies.
