The fourth edition of the leather exhibition and trade fair organised by Epoc Messe Frankfurt exploring business opportunities in the leather industry worldwide
Leatherworld Middle East is the latest exhibition being organised by world-renowned exhibition and trade fair organiser EPOC Messe Frankfurt aimed at the leather industry worldwide. The fourth edition of Leatherworld Middle East will bring together buyers, seller, manufacturers and traders from the leather industry under one roof. As the only specialised trade fair of its kind in the Middle East, Leatherworld Middle East will connect buyers and sellers in the international leather industry.
Leatherworld Middle East 2019 will take place from 18 – 20 March at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre. Exhibitors showcased their latest
wares, from hundreds of variations of animal hides, production machinery and chemicals, to leather handbags, footwear, accessories, and garments.
Italian and French luxury brand acquisitions of tanneries are not a new phenomenon. Along with soaring raw material prices and a finite number of quality hides and skins there has been an explosion in demand for high-value leather goods. Some of the world’s largest luxury brands have snapped up tanners to secure supply and maintain an artisan tradition.
At Leatherworld Middle East international visitors will mainly come from Europe and Middle East. This is your opportunity to meet them and introduce your products to them.
Additional markets with great potential in the region are: India, Iran, Egypt, Jordan, Pakistan, and the African continent (Kenya, Ethiopia, and Burkina Faso among others). At Leatherworld Middle East, you will find direct channels to regional and international contacts – to decision makers, buyers and potential business partners for your company.
