Representatives of the Italy’s Tuscan tanning district met MEP Luisa Regimenti to discuss supporting the local industry at European level, reports Leatherbiz
The workshop, which took place at Santa Croce-based leather research centre Poteco, was attended by Fabrizio Nuti, president of Italian tanners association UNIC; Piero Rosati, vice-president of UNIC; and Michele Matteoli, president of the Ponte a Egola Tanners Consortium.
Ms Regimenti said: “We must support the companies that contribute to the excellence of Made in Italy through concrete actions capable of protecting their business. Constant dialogue also remains central to be able to better represent the requests at European level.”
UNIC wants to take a delegation of tanners to the European Parliament to discuss important issues and implement tools to support the supply chain.
We bring leather, material and fashion businesses together: an opportunity to meet and greet face to face. We bring them from all parts of the world so that they can find fresh partners, discover new customers or suppliers and keep ahead of industry developments.
We organise a number of trade exhibitions which focus on fashion and lifestyle: sectors that are constantly in flux, so visitors and exhibitors alike need to be constantly aware both of the changes around them and those forecast for coming seasons.
