Vietnam: Footwear firm to buy tannery after substandard delivery
29/11/2013
The company will invest in technology to raise the standards of the leather it produces, as some local tanneries reportedly produce low-quality leather that fails to meet export standards.
The 400 leather shoe manufacturers in the country receive only 20% to 30% of material demands from local enterprises, instead sourcing leather from countries such as Brazil, China, Italy and the US, according to the Vietnam Leather and Footwear Association (Lefaso).
