‘Renewal’ already on show at Mipel

19/09/2019
The 116th edition of Mipel came to a conclusion in Milan on September 18 after four successful days.

This was the first time the event had taken place under the leadership of Franco Gabbrielli, new president of Italian leathergoods and accessories manufacturers’ association Assopellettieri. Mr Gabbrielli was only elected to this position at the end of June but he said immediately that “the renewal of Mipel” would be one of his priorities.

Areas on which he wants to concentrate this renewal include increasing the quality on display at Mipel, attracting young people in greater numbers and providing a platform for innovative ideas.

Exhibitors represented 350 brands and the organisers were expecting more than 12,000 visitors.
