Dynamism, efficiency and flexibility are the distinctive features of Centergross, the largest wholesale trading district in Europe dedicated to which brings together over 600 businesses belonging to approximately 20 sectors in addition to fashion. This district, which was founded in 1977 just outside Bologna, serves as an authentic trade city, where the existing services and the network of economic and institutional relationships all contribute to giving our companies greater value on a local, national and international level. Centergross occupies a site with a surface area of 1 million square metres in Funo di Argelato, just outside Bologna, in the pulsing heart of a vast area that is known internationally as Italy’s Fashion Valley, but also Packaging Valley, Motor Valley and Food Valley.
The total annual sales volume of 5 billion euros makes it one of the most active and productive areas for the Italian fashion sector worldwide. Here visiting buyers find a “permanent trade fair” with “immediately available” products. The District’s productive goal is to satisfy the requirements of the world’s middle class, a class that continues to expand and traditionally prefers products that are good value for money. Centergross is visited by an average of 10,000 buyers a day, 60% of whom from abroad: Asia, Europe, United States and the Middle East.
