ACLE will bring the international leather chain together in Shanghai
The Chinese supply trade fair will hold its 26th edition from Tuesday to Thursday at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre in Pudong. The event will be organized by APLF Ltd and the China Leather Industry Association.
The exhibition will occupy halls E1 to E7. In total, it will cover 80,500 square meters and bring together sectors related to hides and skins, footwear manufacturing, fashion components, synthetic materials, tannery machinery, chemicals and automotive industry.
More than 31,000 visitors are expected. Interest in participating among companies comes mainly from the country’s most important manufacturing provinces, including tanneries, machinery manufacturers and chemical suppliers.
ACLE will follow three editions marked by growth in attendance. In 2025, the event received more than 32,000 visitors, despite more moderate demand for leather and geopolitical instability. In 2026, the fair will be presented as an event capable of stimulating productivity during the third quarter of the year, due to its position as a leading business platform.
Its domestic and international profile will also be reflected in the concurrent events that will complete the trade fair program. According to information released by the organizers, this program will reinforce its position within the sector’s professional leather calendar.
In this context, ACLE will provide a setting to reconnect with customers, engage with other industry players and establish new contacts. It will also offer an appropriate environment for planning future strategies and making decisions, as it is regarded as a reference point for industry information.
