The Brazil International Leather, Machinery Equipment, and Footwear Expo (FIMEC), submitted by our company, has been successfully selected for the catalog once again, following its inclusion in the 2025 list. This expo is the only overseas project in the catalog that comprehensively covers the footwear materials, footwear, leather goods, and related materials, equipment, manufacturing technologies, and chemicals sectors, highlighting both the event's professionalism and the urgent demand from industry companies to explore the South American market.
