What happened this week: The Shanghai fair is behind us and as usual most of the industry met up there. The show is growing; more chemical and machinery companies are exhibiting, and the domestic attendance and number of exhibitors is steadily increasing. Due to the participation of the Chinese tanners’ association, the attendance was impressive on the first day and fell back on the following days. However, even on the last day the aisles were far from empty and stands were still quite busy. This was interesting in light of the worrying news that we’d heard in the in the weeks before about the lack of orders, as in Shanghai it was hard to find any tanner who was complaining about the number of orders.
