We understand brands’ needs and we give them concrete form in high-end, defect-free products, following every single step of the manufacturing process, right up to packaging and shipping all over the world.
Linen

Technical and sports division
The Runway is based in Montebelluna, in the heart of the Sport System: a renowned sporting goods manufacturing area in North East Italy. Therefore, over the years it has built up a highly specialized division with great expertise in enhancing technical and sports products.
From selecting materials to ensuring perfect hold in finishing, we combine our know-how with that of sportswear brands, in accordance with the strictest Italian manufacturing standards:
- Analysis of high-performance technical apparel
- Inspections of indoor and outdoor shoe manufacturing
- Strength tests on backpacks, bags and accessories for sport

Optimize your sampling process
In product inspections we use the Acceptable Quality Limit (AQL) to determine the maximum acceptable number of defective items in a sample lot. If the number of defective items is higher than the maximum acceptable limit, the lot is rejected.
With the AQL simulator, you can immediately calculate the appropriate sample size and acceptance number for your inspection, saving on sampling costs and increasing quality standards.
The Runway for sustainable fashion.
The Runway actively contributes to the fashion and luxury industry’s efforts to reduce emissions and pursue sustainability goals.
As well as using renewable energy in its premises and shared mobility solutions to reduce the environmental impact of site inspections, our network of partners can provide specific consulting services in the following fields:
- checks on the eco-friendliness of materials
- product provenance certifications
- assessments of sustainable supply chains
- monitoring of set ESG parameters
