                    The Brazilian footwear industry had a substantial presence at the Shoe and Leather Fair in Guangzhou, China, this year, which took place from May 3-7.
The South American country's Association of Companies of Components for Leather, Footwear and Manufactured Goods (Assintecal), with the support of trade and investment promotion agency (Apex–Brasil), supported the attendance of Brazilian brands.
For the vice-president of Assintecal’s export market department, Evandro Kunst, the Chinese exhibition is an excellent opportunity to strengthen and increase the trade relations between Brazil and Asia. “The Shoes and Leather fair receives an average of 25,000 visitors," he said. "It is an excellent opportunity to expand business in the Asian market and promote the design and the technology of Brazilian products."
