He described the collaboration as a “success for the entire district” and added that while other manufacturing sectors are struggling to find suitable labour, the tanners can draw on a pool of skilful graduates.

The collaboration continues, a sign of a synergy between its players, which is also the strength of the district."
The Tanners Association, a non-profit company, was founded in Santa Croce sull'Arno in 1976. It has around 150 tanneries as members.
