Pittards and Stahl join peers at All Africa Leather Fair
26/02/2015
There were 26 companies from Turkey, one of the biggest investors in Africa, alongside 20 other international exhibitors, including chemical group Stahl, and 150 from the home market.
Local media reported that power shortages and lack of raw material hampered the industry last year: the government had been targeting $347 million in export revenues but reached only $132 million dollars.
"We recently lost power for 12 consecutive days, costing us time and money," said Dereje Tekle, sales manager of Pittards, a UK-headquartered group with operations in Ethiopia.
