SATRA to raise its profile in South America

27/03/2013
Research and testing organisation SATRA took part in the Brazilian footwear and leather exhibition Fimec for the first time in 2013. Footwear companies signing up to become SATRA members during the event, which took place in Novo Hamburgo in mid-March, included Mexican safety footwear brand Riverland, and Brazilian fashion footwear brand Piccadilly.

During the exhibition, SATRA demonstrated VisionStitch, a system for improving stitching operations.

Later it said participation at Fimec would be “the first of many initiatives to increase awareness [in South America] of SATRA’s research and testing services”.
