The organisers of the Fenac and Fimec footwear and leather exhibitions in Brazil unveiled the architect’s concept designs for the new extension to the showground in Novo Hamburgo, Rio Grande do Sul. Once the plans, submitted by Brazilian architect Livia Bortoncello, have been approved construction is expected to begin immediately.
It is hoped that the completed extension will be ready in time for the Fenac footwear show in mid June. The US$500,000 project will include an extension to the exhibition centre and a new car park featuring upgraded night lighting.
Fenac have also teamed up with the organisers of Couromoda to present the Fenac footwear show in June. Couromoda will manage the show for Fenac and the show will now be called Fenac by Couromoda -The international footwear and leathergoods fair. The event will take place June 19 – 22 with 400 exhibitors launching their spring/summer 2001/2002 (southern hemisphere) collections.
