The initiative is supported by the Region and the Marche Chamber of Commerce and involves local business and trade associations as well as trade fairs such as Micam and Expo riva Schuh & Gardabags. The aim is to offer companies in the supply chain a strategic platform for producers, distributors, buyers and style offices to meet, present new products and strengthen commercial contacts.
It is a unique opportunity to discover the latest trends, technological innovations and excellence in the region, further strengthening the position of the Fermo-Macerata district, which, with around 3,000 companies and over 20,000 employees, is one of the world’s most important centres for high-quality production in the footwear and accessories sector.
ABC Accessori Borse Calzature Fashion Event takes place in a context of great challenges for the entire footwear sector, which is grappling with the economic situation, trade tensions and supply difficulties. ‘We are trying to bring buyers closer to local companies, which have shown interest so far, but the audience will also have to include footwear and handbag manufacturers from our region and neighbouring regions,’ said Valentino Fenni, president of ‘Abc fashion event’.
