The Brazilian Association of Companies of Components for Leather, Footwear and Artifacts (Assintecal) is taking 18 Brazilian companies to Expocaipic. This trade fair for input suppliers to the footwear industry is happening between May 13th and 15th in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Assintecal’s superintendent, Silvana Dilly, who is overseeing the participation in Argentina, emphasizes that expectations are positive. “This is the first time we are participating in the local fair, which is the largest in the country. Given the Argentine government’s measures to ease and release local imports, our expectations are very positive, as there is a growing demand in the neighboring country,” explains Silvana, highlighting the recent measures announced by the Milei government to reduce the foreign exchange access period for exports. “This flexibility was even crucial for the Argentine association of material suppliers to invite Assintecal to bring our companies to the fair,” she adds.

The following Brazilian Materials participant companies are taking part in Expocaipic. Brazilian Materials is an export support program for the sector maintained by Assintecal in partnership with the Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency (ApexBrasil): Altero, Atta, Bertex, Buritama, Cipatex, Cofrag, Colorgraf, Corium, Elastonordeste, Filastic, Formas Kunz, Jotaclass, Killing, Metalsinos, Palmiarte, Retma, RR Componentes, and Wolfstore.
