It is an excellent opportunity to make all kinds of new contacts, with manufacturers, designers, creatives.” This is how Philippe Joucla, who with his Mégisserie Lauret (French tannery specialising in lambskin and goatskin) participates at trade fairs around the world, explains the decision to participate at Lineapelle Milano. 478 foreign exhibitors are crowding the halls at Fieramilano Rho over these three days. “The Milan event is important to keep in touch with designer labels, footwear companies and leather goods dealers,” comments Lluìs Balsells Cruañas, export manager at Catalan company Riba Guixà. “An opportunity not just to take orders, but also to do public relations,” adds Markus Möllerfrerich of Heinen Lederfabrik (Germany). The most enthusiastic of all is Sajjad Ali Rana from Pakistan’s Pakital Group: “We participate at all the Asian and European trade fairs, but Lineapelle has the highest priority: in our planning of annual activities, it is extremely important.” (rp)
