The city of Wenzhou in China’s Zhejiang province is making its final preparations for the 2024 edition of the Wenzhou International Leather Fair. It will run from August 23-25.

Since 2001, Wenzhou has enjoyed special status as China’s footwear capital. In 2020, Sichuan University of Science and Engineering opened a dedicated research institute for leather for use in the footwear sector in Wenzhou.

There will be almost 470 exhibitors in total this year. Most suppliers of leather taking part in the event will be in halls one and two, which will house more than 230 suppliers of shoe materials.

The exhibition also devotes substantial space to chemicals and machinery.
