The annual general meeting of Assomac, the national association of Italian manufacturers of footwear, leathergoods and tannery machines, took place in Vigevano at the end of June at the association’s headquarters.

In his speech, the chairman, Giulio Tandura, described 2007 as a relatively quiet year. He said the sector had coped with "the inevitable fall in exports" resulting in a figure of –1.49% compared to 2006. But he said there was still serious concern about the first half of  2008.
