Shoe Components and Leather Goods
In the course of 2001, the business was expanded to the trade of footwear components, becoming a reference in the national market.

Business Restructuring
In a strategy of portfolio diversification and a strong commitment to sustained growth, Elastron decides to hire employees in order to face a new and demanding reality. This strategy would bear fruit, and the first collections of synthetic leather for upholstery were presented to the market.
Internationalization
In a strategy of business diversification while at the same time seeking to reduce dependence on the natural leather trade, Elastron expanded its portfolio to other types of coating such as synthetic, microfibres and fabrics, certifying them in German laboratories.
In the years that followed, Elastron entered two important markets: Spanish and Italian.
