Established in 1949, the Associazione Italiana Pellicceria (AIP - the Italian Fur Association) represents the interests of the whole fur industry in Italy: farmers, tanneries, hide importers and wholesalers, artisans, retailers, manufacturers, designers, pattern makers and workers, agents and representatives, companies specialising in cleaning and storage, and companies manufacturing machinery, equipment and accessories for furs.
 
AIP is non-profit and is legally represented by the National President.

​

In 1996, AIP established Ente Fieristico Mifur, now Mifur S.r.l., the organiser at Fiera Milano, with the sponsorship and support of ITA – Agenzia ICE , of “The One Milano”, the world's leading international exhibition for the sector's fashion.

​

AIP is affiliated with Confcommercio Imprese per l’Italia, Confindustria Moda, and AICE, and it is the sole official spokesperson for the entire sector in dealings with government bodies, public authorities, trades union, political and social organisations, and the world of communications.

​

The Italian Fur Association is divided into ten regional and inter-regional organisations and is a founding member of IFF, the International Fur Trade Federation based in London.
