Testimonial

Listen to What Our Longstanding Exhibitors Have to Say......

In this exhibition, I saw a lot of leather that I had never seen before, including environmentally friendly leathers or leathers of different animal sources. I will continue to come to APLF, even without organiser’s invitation.

Addang Zheng
Footwear Director of Kolon Sport

APLF offers superior organisation, effective pre-show engagement, and targeted supplier matching that connects us directly with relevant partners. Exhibitors are eager to develop the Asian market, leading to more attentive and meaningful discussions. I found APLF was well organised, efficient and productive for connecting with relevant suppliers.

Suresh Kumar Jagan
Global Head of Materials, Clarks India Services

Compared to other international fairs, APLF is far more efficient, with strong pre-show engagement and targeted supplier matching that connects us directly with relevant partners. At the event, we strengthened ties with existing suppliers, found new partners, and sourced high-quality materials that meet our expectations.

Vanessa Yao
President of ICICLE Accessory, China

“ Overall, the show exceeded our expectations. It’s not only about raw materials, but also hardware, finished goods, and innovation. We’ve made valuable new connections and identified several suppliers we plan to follow up with. We see strong potential in continuing our engagement with APLF, whether returning as a visitor or potentially participating as an exhibitor in the future.

Siripanya Prasopchok
Head of Business Development, Compliance, & Business Improvement of Adiantes, Thailand

I am very pleased with APLF, as I found suppliers that align perfectly with the consumption preferences of today’s youth and the development direction of our company.
