Strong Italian presence at IILF
Italy’s national body for tanning and footwear machinery manufacturers, Assomac, said 18 member companies had a presence in Chennai for the 2025 India International Leather Fair (IILF).
It said that a total of around 30 companies from Italy had been represented at the exhibition.
At the close of the event on February 3, Assomac said the industry was enjoying strong growth in India and that the Asian country represented a good market in which to showcase Italian technology.
It has calculated the value of India’s leather-sector production in 2024 as being equivalent to €17 billion in 2024, with projections that this figure should rise to €45 billion in 2030.
It said the fair was a good environment in which to establish contact with new customers and new partners.
