The partnership between our Institute and TOMBOW CO. Ltd, the largest Japanese school uniform company, was signed on 11 February. Matteo Secoli, President of the Institute comments: "It is a partnership that aims to increase the Institute's international and industrial relations and promote our method and specialization in the patternmaking field in a new context such as that of school uniforms, widely used in Japan." The visit to Milan by the President of TOMBOW Tomoyuki Kondo, the President of UTECO Minoru Tsunashima and the President of AKATSUKI SHOJI Katsunari Yamamoto was an opportunity to sign the contract between the parties, allowing the leaders of each company to view spaces and laboratories of the School.
