Shutdown of tanneries in Hebei sounds death knell for cheap tanning in China
It has been more than a week since the Asia Pacific Leather Fair (APLF) in Hong Kong closed its doors and it is good to have a week to let everybody get home and to let the dust settle. It was, as expected, a pretty important event. Not because there was any particularly exciting news or market trends established, but because of the face-to-face meetings with all the people in the leather pipeline and it offered a lot of new information which is now waiting for interpretation in offices at home.
