Brazil’s national footwear industry association, Abicalçados, has said some of the biggest names in the sector will take part in the next BF Show exhibition, which takes place in São Paulo on May 18 and 19.

In terms of production volumes, Abicalçados has calculated that companies taking part in the BF Show this time will represent 75% of the Brazilian industry’s total, with a combined capacity to produce 900 million pairs per year.
