Feb. 6 – The 25th edition of Consumexpo, the International Exhibition of consumer goods in Moscow, was held inside the Halls 2 and 8 of the Expocentr Forum, the largest exhibition center in the Russian capital. As each year, it included business and industry professionals from all over the CIS. The mainly represented sectors in the exhibition are footwear, leather goods and equipment suppliers. This time, ANCI – the National Association of Italian Footwear Manufacturers – accompanied a group of 48 Italian companies that exhibited their collections in the pavilion dedicated to footwear and leather, an exhibition space of about 1,000 square meters. The final results show that Consumexpo is a key event for Italian companies in the shoe business, during which they presented their 2013 spring / summer collections, but also anticipated the next autumn / winter 2013-2014 collection. The trade fair also helps monitor the market for those who have significant commercial interests in the area. ANCI carefully analyzes the results and, through targeted meetings with businesses, adapts the formula to make it more suitable to the changing market conditions of Russia.
