Italian leather technology event launches in Tunisia
Italian Ambassador to Tunisia, Alessandro Prunas, inaugurated the event “Italian technology, key to creativity” in Tunis, highlighting collaboration in the leather industry. He noted Italy’s dominance in leather processing, exporting over 65% of its machinery and producing 62% of Europe’s tanned leather.
Mr Prunas emphasised Italy as a key partner for Tunisia, with 70% of the country's major leather companies focused on exports and benefiting from Italian investments in 22% of Tunisian firms in the sector. The event, organised by the Ice Agency Tunis with ASSOMAC and UNIC, aims to enhance bilateral cooperation with a focus on technical training and sector promotion.
The agenda includes a technical seminar and B2B meetings with 13 Italian companies and 160 local operators.
On the second day, the delegation will visit local model companies and the Centre National du Cuir et de la Chaussure (CNCC) laboratories.
