Spanish firms satisfied with Expo Riva Schuh

20/01/2011
A total of 26 Spanish firms, representing 47 different footwear brands, took part in the January edition of Expo Riva Schuh this year (January 15–18).

After the event, the
Spanish National Footwear Federation (FICE) said some participants had reported winning back clients from the footwear retail sector who had worked with Spanish manufacturers in the past but who, in recent years, had put their business in the hands of lower-cost operators in Asia.

FICE’s marketing director, Imanol Martínez, said he felt this was a reflection of the rise in costs for outsource manufacturing partners in Asia.
