(February 2004)

APIC and CTIC have been working on the renewal of the Portuguese Leather Industry’s image.

For that purpose, a new logo for the Portuguese Leather Industry was created, with a Portuguese and International version.

The creation of these logos was the first step of this renewal process which comprehended the promotion of the industry and leather products in newspapers, a campaign promoting leather products in stores, a new webpage for the sector – which is being developed – and also the publication of the Portuguese Leather Industries Directory.

This bilingual (Portuguese-English) Directory can be obtained by contacting APIC  or CTIC.
