Held biannually at the Poliforum León, a modern and accessible exhibition center in León, Mexico, the fair is a hub for showcasing the latest innovations, products, and services in this dynamic sector. Since its debut in 1980, the ANPIC has grown into one of the most influential events in Latin America, drawing national and international exhibitors and visitors from across the leather and footwear industries.
León, often referred to as the "Shoe Capital of the World," has long been a critical center for leather and footwear manufacturing, and the ANPIC plays a vital role in bolstering the region’s economy. The event attracts professionals from a range of industries involved in the leather supply chain, from tanneries to footwear manufacturers, creating an ideal environment for networking and knowledge exchange.
