The board of directors elected Massimo Boldrini (tannery La Perla Azzurra) for the two-year term 2025-2027. He succeeds Leonardo Volpi. He will be joined in the vice-presidency by Paolo Testi and Manuel Casella.
“I would like to thank everyone for the trust placed in me with this appointment,” were the first words of the newly appointed president of the Consortium that protects and guarantees the production of vegetable-tanned leather by bringing together 18 companies in the Tuscan leather district. “Special thanks go to outgoing president Leonardo Volpi, who with great professionalism led the Consortium for two consecutive terms, achieving outstanding results despite the delicate historical moment this sector is going through. Vegetable tanning is more than a technique: it is culture, identity and the expression of a deep bond with the territory. Our task as a consortium is to preserve it, communicate its value and promote the Quality Mark as a symbol of authenticity, traceability and tradition.”
The elected board members are: Michele Battaglia, Maurizio Conti, Stefano Pinori, Paolo Quagli, Simone Remi, Martina Squarcini and Leonardo Volpi.
