Brazilian tanneries in the starting blocks for Dubai
25/03/2022
At the first in-person APLF since 2019, there will be around 400 exhibitors of materials, chemicals and machinery from 29 countries. The expectation is that the Dubai edition of the event will receive 6,000 visitors, many from new sourcing countries.
José Fernando Bello, executive president of Brazil’s tanning association CICB, said: "The work being done by the fair's organisers, together with Expo Dubai and the Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry, should boost the objectives of promoting leather and presenting opportunities to a new public in the sector.”
Rogério Cunha, from CICB's Trade Intelligence, added: "This is a restart – in the largest global event in the sector. The in-person fairs are back in full force, and we will have a very interesting assessment of the year at APLF Leather."
