As in previous years, we attended this Lineapelle fair in Milan with our own booth.

In an international comparison, we noticed a tenser situation in Europe, but could gather some positive impressions during the fair.

The Annual General Meeting of the International Council for Hides, Skins and Leather Traders Associations (ICHSLTA) was held during the All China Leather Exhibition (ACLE) in Shanghai this year.

Due to Covid, the ACLE – All China Leather Exhibition – was held in Shanghai as per ususal for the first time in four years. As the only German company in our sector we had our own booth.

Our expectations were exceeded by active interest overall and 35% more visitors compared to 2019, which made our hopes for a recovery of the international markets a more optimistic.
