Massimo Boldrini leads Italian tanning consortium
The Italian Vegetable-Tanned Leather Consortium has announced the election of Massimo Boldrini (Conceria La Perla Azzurra) as its new President for the 2025-2027 term. The appointment was confirmed during the General Assembly of Members on February 20, 2025.

Supporting Mr Boldrini in his leadership, Paolo Testi (Conceria La Bretagna) and Manuel Casella (Conceria Puccini) have been appointed as Vice Presidents.

The newly elected Board of Directors comprises:

Michele Battaglia (Silvateam S.p.A.)

Stefano Pinori (Figli di Guido Lapi S.P.A.)

Maurizio Conti (Conceria Monteverdi Srl)

Paolo Quagli (Italpel)

Martina Squarcini (Conceria Il Ponte)

Simone Remi (Badalassi Carlo)

Leonardo Volpi (Volpi Concerie)

In his statement, Mr Boldrini extended his gratitude to outgoing President Leonardo Volpi, who served for two terms with dedication and professionalism. He highlighted the importance of vegetable tanning, describing it as more than just a technique—rather, a cultural identity and a deep-rooted tradition that connects to the territory. The Consortium, he affirmed, will continue to safeguard, communicate, and promote vegetable tanning as a symbol of authenticity and craftsmanship.

The Consortium's General Assembly is composed of 18 associated tanneries, including Artigiano del Cuoio, Badalassi Carlo, Conceria La Bretagna, Conceria Walpier, Conceria Il Ponte, Italpel, Conceria Tempesti, and Volpi Concerie, among others.
