Italian Leather Fabled for Innovation

Few would challenge that Italy has played a significant role in promoting leather as a luxury product within the global market: and continues to do so. Their participation in APLF - MM&T (Materials, Manufacturing & Technology) goes back pretty much to the exhibition's inception. Twenty plus years later and they remain very substantial exhibitors. Eighty four (84) Italian companies will join MM&T 2008, under the umbrella of the Italian Tanning Association (UNIC) and the Italian Accessories & Components Association (UNAC).Despite concerns about the economic outlook, and the financial ups and downs that affect certain markets, Italian companies continue to demonstrate their fabled creativity, innovation and the maintenance of high quality standards. MM&T allows the international leather industry, together with an increasing number of those from the wider apparel business, a "rendezvous" with the excellence of Italian leather world. Not to be missed. Visit them in Hall 1 (UNIC Pavilion) and in Hall 3 (UNAC Pavilion) Please click here for the exhibitors' lists of Italian Pavilions.
