Brazilian leather and footwear association Assintecal is to embark on an in-depth study of the opportunities that it believes exist for Brazilian companies in the German market.

Assintecal said on announcing the development that it will investigate possibilities for Brazilian manufacturers of finished products, leather, chemicals and machinery.

As part of the same project, Brazilian companies will receive financial assistance to boost their presence in the German market, for example through attendance at exhibitions, starting with A+A 2015 in Düsseldorf  (October 27-30), an event of particular interest to providers of materials and components of safety footwear.
