The Brazilian Association of Leather, Footwear and Artifacts Components Companies (Assintecal), through Brazilian Materials, a program to support the internationalization of the sector, is accepting applications for participation in five international fairs in Germany, China, Italy and Peru. The goal is to increase Brazilian exports of components throughout 2025.

According to Luiz Ribas Júnior, International Market Manager at Assintecal, the fairs, with different profiles, play a fundamental role in increasing shipments in the sector. “International fairs provide, more than business, connections with some of the main world markets. Expectations are quite positive, given the growing demand for sustainable materials at competitive prices, premises that set the Brazilian industry apart,” he comments.

The first fair will be Expodetalles, in Lima, Peru, from August 5 to 8. With around 300 exhibitors, the event receives visitors from over 20 countries, most of them from Latin America.

Next, Brazilian companies will participate in ACLE, one of the largest basic industry fairs in the world. Taking place in Shanghai, China, from September 3 to 5, the show is a great opportunity to strengthen the sector’s relations with the Asian market. With over 1,100 exhibitors, the fair receives around 30,000 visitors per edition, most of them from the Asian continent.

Lineapelle will be held in Milan, Italy, at the end of September, in conjunction with Simac. Between the 23rd and 25th, Lineapelle will present collections of leather, accessories, components and fabrics to more than 28 thousand visitors from 47 countries. Simac, on the other hand, is focused on machines, equipment and technology and is expected to receive more than 6.5 thousand buyers from 130 countries.
