APLF ASEAN has announced its first edition in Vietnam, to be held from November 13 to 15, 2025, at the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center (SECC) in Ho Chi Minh City.
The debut will bring together more than 100 suppliers from around the world, with a multi-continental profile from Asia, Europe and America. Exhibiting companies will present a wide range of products, including leather, components, chemicals, materials and machinery for the footwear, apparel, handbag and upholstery industries.
According to the fair’s organizers, Vietnam is gaining increasing relevance within the global leather supply chain. This is reinforced by its significant position as a footwear exporter, ranking just below China, and its strategic location within the world map, where the ASEAN region manufactures 25% of global footwear.
