FESI takes part in Iranian trade mission
27/10/2016
FESI secretary general, Alberto Bichi, said after the visit that the organisation is keen to foster the internationalisation of European sporting goods manufacturers, who, he said, “still depend largely on their domestic markets, despite the opportunities offered by globalisation”.
The programme included visits to technology parks, sport apparel factories, textile factories and other industrial facilities in different parts of Iran. FESI said it had managed to gain insight into Iran’s textile industry, production capacities, manufacturing costs and the overall quality of its products.
“Altogether, the mission was an excellent experience in terms of learning and gathering information,” Mr Bichi said. “It was a pleasure to get such an introduction to Iranian culture, both on a political and operational level. We are looking forward to learning more on the functioning of Iran’s technology platforms and are excited to pave the way for collaboration between the EU and Iran.”
