About us
ILATRO - CARBON FIBER CARRY-ON LUGGAGES - project was born thanks to the initiative of Cosimo Epifani, the second generation of the EPI, historical company based in Brindisi, who has several years of experience in industrial plant production and in-depth studies on composite materials.
EXTREME LIGHTNESS - MAXIMUM RESISTANCE
These properties have brought the carbon fiber to gradually replace metals in the aeronautics industry – and beyond.
ILATRO suitcases are made with the materials of the future, taking advantage from the properties of a compound used only in the technologically advanced production.

The name of our brand was inspired by Phillyrea latifolia , an evergreen shrub typical of Mediterranean scrub, best known with the name of the ILATRO. A compact and hardwood plant, with dark-colored fruits, just like carbon fiber!
The brand logo represents a plane by recalling the technology used (aeronautical) with futuristic graphics, the last great Italian art movement that made the technology (new materials) and speed (the journey) its emblem.
ILATRO was born in 2015 thanks to the skills acquired over the years and the proximity to both research center (on composite materials) and the aeronautical district that pushed the company to invest a lot in research and development of composite materials - first of all carbon fiber - creating a new business unit dedicated to the manufacture of carbon fiber products and in particoular to the creation of our carbon fiber carry-on luggages.
From the earliest approaches to composite materials we have analyzed the possible applications and related production technologies. We have worked closely with CETMA (European Research Center for Technologies Design and Materials) of Brindisi, cooperating with young and talented researchers specialized in materials engineering and industrial design, in order to identify production models to be applied directly to our plants. Among them, the one used for the aeronautical sector (that requires the highest quality standards) has proved to be the autoclave process.
We made our carbon fiber carry-on suitcases using the autoclaves built by ourselves. All production stages are carried out internally by our highly qualified technicians and using local suppliers carefully selected, in order to offer our customers a 100% made in Italy product.
CARBON FIBER CARRY-ON LUGGAGES
We design and produce our items in our Brindisi lab, where our company is based, into an innovative industrial district featued by a consolidated manufacturing tradition linked to the aeronautical field.
We have created unique items that accompany the journey, using CARBON FIBER: the best for traveling with ease, lightness and safety!

ILATRO carbon fiber carry-on luggages are tested to offer our customers a high quality product. The use of carbon fiber guarantees maximum resistance to our baggage. The T1 suitcase, in its sitting function, was also certified by CATAS, the largest Italian research and testing institute in the wood-furniture industry, a landmark in Italy and worldwide. From these tests, the “sitting” trolley can support a 100 kg weight (about).
