The Made in Italy gold and silver manufacturing supply chain is ready for the 44th Oroarezzo. In the halls of Arezzo Fiere e Congressi this coming 10 to 13 May, Italian Exhibition Group’s (IEG) b2b show will gather together leading companies and international buyers. Starting with those from the “home” district , whose main destinations are Turkey, to which, in the first nine months of 2024, about 60% of exports for a value of over 3 billion euros were directed, the Arab Emirates for 10%, the United States with 6.8%, France with 3.4% and Hong Kong 2.9% (Source: Federorafi/Mediobanca). Matteo Farsura who heads IEG's Jewellery & Fashion division , says: «There is real satisfaction at IEG for the way the Oroarezzo project is progressing and for the feedback on incoming. Foreign buyers will see and personally touch the vast catalogue of made-in-Italy gold and silver manufacturing, jewellery with precious stones and an entire hall of top-quality technologies. Arezzo will provide the chance to speak with companies, plan and design new products or collections for the second half of the year, and IEG is working energetically on this event, which it considers as fundamental to its calendar as its relationship with the Arezzo area, in the Italian region of Tuscany, together with which we are also building a carnet of extremely full and interesting collateral events.»
