Second fMM&T India goes ahead
18/05/2010
The event attracted several thousand leather and footwear professionals, representatives of both domestic and overseas companies in the leather and footwear industries.
The 2010 exhibition hosted separate group pavilions for exhibitors from the US, France, Taiwan and China, and individual exhibitors from Hong Kong, Korea, Egypt, Italy, Thailand, Bangladesh, the Netherlands and India.
The French pavilion was organised by Sophie Hivert, export manager of the French Tanners Association, who commented: “This is the first time the French Tanners Association has exhibited in India, a country with great potential for leather and footwear.” One of the exhibitors, Mr Yves Morin, chief executive of research and testing organisation CTC added: “ fMM&T provided the ideal platform to interact with new customers and look for a potential partner. We are already doing business in India but do not have an office yet. This first participation has already met our expectations and we will return next year”.
