The gold manufacturing district of Valenza in north-western Italy presents itself as a dynamic district that, though weakened by the economic crisis, is seeking salvation in foreign markets. We are talking about an industrial sector with about 800 companies and 4,700 employees, smaller compared to the past but with big potential. That starts with exports, despite the slowdown in the first nine months of the year (-11.8%) after a very positive 2015.
The district in the province of Alessandria, Piedmont, is characterized by the presence of important brands including Damiani, Pasquale Bruni and Bulgari, which are flanked by a network of small producers with a wealth of know-how and traditions.
