Brazil to set up “mini Inspiramais” at ACLE
Brazilian tanning industry association CICB, footwear industry association Assintecal and the country’s export promotions agency Apex-Brasil will undertake a joint initiative during the All China Leather Exhibition (ACLE) in Shanghai, from August 31-September 2.

All three organisations will work together at the exhibition to present to the Chinese market design, technology and innovation in the materials developed by Brazilian leather and footwear companies. “China is the largest market for many companies in the leather, footwear and materials chain, so ACLE is one of the main fairs for the industry,” said CICB chief executive, José Fernando Bello, on announcing the initiative. “The idea at this edition of the event is to bring together two large entities, CICB and Assintecal, to show the strength of the Brazilian industry.

As part of the initiative, visitors to ACLE will see a sample of the Inspiramais exhibition, which the organisers describe as the only materials design and innovation exhibition in Latin America. It takes place in São Paulo twice a year, in January and July. The Brazilian organisations intend to set up a mini version of Inspiramais at ACLE.
