“The overall impression was good – stated Mauro Pellizzari, Vice President of Gemata, world leader in the production of finishing systems and plants for leather – and despite the absence of Chinese, Koreans and Japanese, there was a constant turnout of visitors to our stand, especially buyers from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Iran. Dubai has encouraged interaction with Egyptians and Tunisians who, normally, do not participate in APLF: we are confident that we have collected interesting contacts even if it is too early to affirm that the absence of the Far East has been balanced by the new countries.”
