Cosmopack also had great success in Bologna. The event dedicated to the beauty supply chain grew by 5.42% and was attended by 21,900 professional visitors from the industry.
"The 2016 edition of Cosmoprof Worldwide Bologna has offered a new opportunity to confirm the positive 49 years of collaboration with BolognaFiere Group, with a growing success of visitors and services to the exhibiting companies," says Fabio Rossello, president of Cosmetica Italia. "The visit to the exhibition of the Undersecretary of the Ministry of Constitutional Reforms and Relations with parliament, Ivan Scalfarotto, has been a proof of the growing attention that even the institutions paid on a sector which stands out in foreign markets for growing exports at double figure (+14.3%) and a trade balance of more than 2 billion euros. It is thanks to these synergies that we consolidated a winning strategy."
