After the due exhortation on Italian know-how and on the innovation-industry-vision triad, he stressed the numbers. Not those of the Salone, but those of the wood/furniture sector.

All economic variables analyzed by the Studies office of Acimall, the Confindustria association that represents industry companies, indicate that 2018 was another positive year....(read more) | |
