Mexican research and testing organisation Ciatec celebrated its fortieth anniversary with a special event on August 12. Founded by leather-sector technicians in León in 1976, Ciatec has expanded its scope in recent years to carry out projects on behalf of other industries, including automotive.

Director, Ricardo Guerra Sánchez, said at the time of the anniversary celebration that Ciatec had a team of 12 when it started, a figure that has since risen to 131. He said the organisation currently completes around 50 projects per year.
