After the Arab world, IFCOMA made its presence at the "SHENZEN INTERNATIONAL FAIR" held in Shenzen City, China, and successfully created awareness of Indian footwear components to leading footwear manufacturers. The participation was also useful to study their quality and ruling prices so that Indian component manufacturers can suitably adopt themselves to get the competitive edge. 7 members participated in the fair in a stand of 45 sq mts.

The fair had visitors from not only China, Taiwan and Hong Kong but also from Turkey, Spain, Fiji Islands etc.

There were more than 300 visitors to our stand and there was keen interest in the products displayed by us. Some participating members have had serious discussions for JV / Technical tie up arrangements specially in the field of metal fittings, EVA moulded components etc.

There is also a major demand for leather board in china as this is not produced there. Requirements are also there for counter and toe puff materials as there are only two or three companies producing this in China (as per the feedback received from the visitors).
