“Made in Italy” could see booming exports to US slow with Trump

Giuliano Mosconi, president of Tecno (€35 million in revenue, including €4 million in the U.S.), which produces made-to-order office furniture and in 2017 will open centers for logistics and processing in New York and Atlanta, was surprised by the outcome of the U.S. vote. But he said the company's “office furniture is sufficiently distinctive, as many items Made in Italy often are, that they'll [be fine]. I don't think they will be penalized in the medium term. We've also grown significantly and created a logistics hub to keep up with the rhythms and timing of U.S. delivery.”
