Exhibitors from China, Taiwan, Vietnam, Thailand, Italy and India are participating in the three-day event which is offering business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C) opportunities.

The show is aimed at giving a boost to the leather industry and providing buyers and sellers an enabling environment to interact and explore business opportunities.
