Good news for footwear components firms as Spain’s domestic shoe production lifts

16/03/2016
Spain’s main footwear components manufacturers’ association, AEC, has said an increase in production volumes in the domestic market and the success of Spanish-made shoes in recent times in important export markets have combined to provide component companies with a substantial boost.

Recent reports in local media have suggested the footwear components sector in Spain grew in value by as much as 10% last year.

The organisation’s president, Manuel Román, has said he expects further growth in 2016 and in the years ahead.
