Who Are You Going to Meet? 

Italian exhibitors come first when it comes to the level of internationality. After all, Simac Tanning Tech exists as a way to highlight the exceptional work done by Italian manufacturers. However, it needs to be said that the trade fair is a truly global phenomenon that reaches beyond Italy’s nearest neighbours like Turkey, France, Germany, Portugal and Spain. As an exhibitor you’ll showcase alongside companies from Brazil, Mexico, Spain and India. We can speak about a similar split of nationalities when we look at trade visitors. 

Organisers have made sure that exhibitors are able to generate qualified sales leads that lead to very lucrative deals and partnerships in the long run. Big buyers and institutions travel from 16 countries in order to get a better sense of the current market offers. All this is accomplished thanks to the collaboration with ITA/ICE Agency.

If we’re to look at the roles of trade visitors, we’ll see that the majority occupy high-ranking roles in their respective organisations in sales and upper management, going all the way to ownership. As a whole, the greater portion of visitors has purchasing power.
