Top firms line up for leather fair

The three-day 14th Delhi International Leather Fair (DILF) opens at Pragati Maidan here this Saturday. Being organised by India Trade Promotion Organisation, DILF will see participation of over 125 leading companies as well as representation from 29 foreign companies from China, Italy, France, Thailand and Kenya who will showcase their products for the discerning buyers. The fair will provide an opportunity to Indian buyers to engage in joint ventures as well as offer prospects for transfer of technology and augmentation of supply sources. It will not be open to the public.

Slated as a sourcing point for quality and competitive leather and its products, DILF will encompass practically all aspects of the leather industry including footwear, footwear components, leather garments, fashion accessories, leather goods, saddles and harnesses, machinery, chemicals, publications and consultancy services.

Technical seminars and presentations will also be organised at the fair. The topics for the seminars and presentations include testing, inspection and certification of leather and leather products, training and testing facilities available for the footwear and component industry and the latest developments in footwear technology.

Senior government officials will explain the various features of the existing policies and schemes as well as those that might be on the anvil at an interactive meeting being organised at DILF.

DILF is being co-sponsored by the Council for Leather Exports and is supported by several apex organisations including the Footwear Design and Development Institute, the Association of Leather Industry, the Indian Footwear Components Manufacturers Association, the Central Leather Research Institute and the India Shoe Federation. -- Staff Reporter
