30th APLF gets under way
The 2014 APLF exhibition in Hong Kong opened its doors on March 31. This is the thirtieth edition of the event.

Event director, Michael Duck, said at a press conference at the start of the show: “Our inaugural edition in 1984 was almost a generation ago, but APLF is still going strong. We’ve been through the good times and the bad times with the global leather industry.”

In total, 1,213 exhibitors signed up to take part in 2014, representing 50 countries. Ninety-seven companies exhibited for the first time this year.
