...and institutional Indonesian representatives to Milan for the first time. One of the major achievements of these encounters was the signing of a cooperation agreement between Assomac and the Yogyakarta.

The Russian delegation met more than 50 Italian member companies at exclusive meetings aimed at creating business opportunities and new partnerships. Some of the companies who attended already have Italian machinery in their factories while others are in the process of creating new businesses and expressed their intention to return for the forthcoming SIMAC & TANNING-TECH to carefully select machinery.

The visit provided an opportunity for networking and a chance to consolidate already existing relations established on previous Italian missions to Russia. ASSOMAC regularly organizes initiatives and footwear and tanning technology workshops in Russia, and has also signed a major cooperation agreement with Moscow’s university of design and technology. This led to a footwear technology workshop, also during Lineapelle, attended by 12 students from the Russian university.

“Opening our Business Lounge at Lineapelle,“ says Assomac President Giovanni Bagini, „ was a unique opportunity, developed by Assomac to give its members a chance to enter into direct contact with some of the world’s most important footwear and tanning industries, who want to invest in Italian technology. These companies chose to come to Italy because they are convinced that Italian products guarantee the quality and innovation they are looking for.”
