A Resounding Success for the Leather Industry in Bangkok

The sole leather exhibition in Thailand, APLF ASEAN 2023, concluded with resounding success. The bustling metropolis of Bangkok played host to the APLF ASEAN 2nd Edition, a prestigious gathering of leather industry professionals, manufacturers, and designers from October 25th to 27th, 2023. Organized by APLF Limited, the event took place at the esteemed Queen Sirikit National Convention Center, Bangkok, Thailand, serving as a dynamic platform for the exchange of ideas, trends, and innovations within the flourishing leather market of Southeast Asia. With a vibrant atmosphere and an impressive turnout of attendees, the APLF ASEAN 2nd Edition showcased the region's remarkable potential and commitment to the advancement of the global leather industry. From cutting-edge technological displays to sustainable manufacturing solutions, the event encapsulated the multifaceted nature of the leather sector, demonstrating its evolution and adaptability in the modern business landscape.

Operating under the banner of "ASEAN in Action," this second edition in Thailand built upon the triumph of its predecessor. As a professional hub for the leather industry. APLF ASEAN brought together Thai and international suppliers dealing in leather, chemicals, machinery, and components. This convergence facilitated opportunities for both regional and global buyers, designers, and traders in the tanning and leather goods manufacturing sectors.

Labeled M.E.E.T—Matching, Education, Experience, and Tradeshow—APLF ASEAN transcended the conventional tradeshow model. It seamlessly amalgamated event organization, knowledge dissemination, and a comprehensive leather goods experience, delivering an all-encompassing event for attendees.
