The Spanish Footwear Components Association (AEC) commemorated the important milestone with an exciting gala at the Elche Congress Centre, reaffirming its commitment to innovation and leadership in the sector.
Since its foundation in 1999, the Spanish Association has consolidated itself as a reference point in the representation and defence of the interests of the footwear and leather goods industry. The Association’s 25th anniversary was celebrated last December with a Gala evening held in Elche, at which the commemorative book was presented and the Horma Dorada awards, dedicated to key figures in the history of the AEC, were presented. Among the award-winners were the association’s former presidents Pascual Pizana Sáez, José María Sarabia García, Antonio Sanz Lozano and José Antonio López Robles, who guided the milestones of its development. The former presidents of FUTURMODA, José Antonio Ibarra Torres, Andrés Alonso Coves, Tomás Aznar Martínez and Pedro Vives Pérez, were also recognised for their contribution to one of the sector’s most important international showcases.
This anniversary was not only a time for celebration, but also for reflection on the future of the sector, marking the beginning of a new phase of growth, innovation and leadership for the association and its more than 250 member companies. During the event, AEC’s strategic objectives were highlighted, such as its commitment to sustainability, digital transformation, the promotion of the ‘Footwear Components From Spain’ brand and the internationalisation of its member companies.
