Aplic Colour is a modest company employing about 50 persons and manufacturing 17,000 metres of leather a month.
Camila Balbinot Mattes, one of the members of the development team at Aplic Colour said that six years ago shoe industries showed them what they wanted and they produced it, but now they come to see what they have to offer.
Although, the company still doesn't export leather, but the shoes and artefacts made with their products are sold even in international markets.
There are several institutions like the National Service of Industrial Education (Senai) and Feevale University Centre (Novo Hamburgo) having shoe design graduation centres.
There are also private schools, like that of stylist José Maria Carrasco, one of the oldest stylists in the sector.
