Assintecal to host buyers’ groups at Fimec
Brazil’s national representative body for footwear components manufacturers, Assintecal, will host official buyers’ groups from four Latin American countries at this year’s Fimec exhibition.
The event takes place in Novo Hamburgo from March 18-20.
Assintecal has work with export promotions agency ApexBrasil to bring buyers from Colombia, Mexico, Argentina and Ecuador to Fimec in an effort to expand the impact of Brazilian components manufacturers in these markets.
International markets manager for Assintecal, Luiz Ribas Júnior, said geographical proximity and cultural similarities made these markets ideal for Brazilian footwear components companies who want to expand their export business.
He said the invited buyers represented manufacturing groups who produce a combined total of more than 500,000 pairs of footwear per month.
