COTANCE is sad to convey the passing of Ursula Mandenoff, a key person in COTANCE throughout her 44-year career in the leather industry. Mrs Mandenoff was COTANCE's French representative from the very first day in 1969 to the beginning of the new millenium. She was an ardent defender and a cornerstone of the economic integration of the European leather industry. The operating rules that she negotiated with her European colleagues still apply today in our Statutes.
Ms. Mandenoff enjoyed the respect and admiration of her colleagues for her talent, energy and determination.
She will be missed.
