Mr Vives, who is a distributor in Spain for Italian materials cutting technology developer Comelz, was president of Futurmoda immediately before Mr Ibarra’s tenure.

On taking up the appointment again, the new president said: “Futurmoda has grown substantially since my last term as president. I will work hard to make sure the event continues to be a solid meeting point for the whole footwear and leather sector.”

The next edition of Futurmoda will be in Elche on October 14 and 15.
