UNIC president, Fabrizio Nuti, led the delegation, accompanied by vice-presidents Rino Mastrotto and Piero Rosati, board member Roberto Lupi, and by the current president of European leather industry body, COTANCE, Manuel Ríos.
An Italian member of the European Parliament, Luisa Regimenti, visited leather industry representatives in Santa Croce in Tuscany in May and invited industry leaders to travel to Brussels to repay the visit.
The high-level delegation presented the challenges facing tanners in Italy and throughout Europe, including the economic problems caused by rising costs.
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.
