AYSAF Footwear Materials Components Leather and Technologies 2024

Hello. First of all, we came to visit the AYSAF Exhibition on behalf of footwear factories from Uzbekistan. We would like to express our sincere thanks to the exhibition organizers and to all the teams working on-site. Here, we were able to find many of the products and materials we had been looking for, including shoe soles, children’s shoe soles, leather-related products, and a wide variety of materials for the different product groups we are eager to develop. For this, we would like to sincerely thank the AYSAF Exhibition, the AYSAF team, the AYSAD management, and its chairpersons. We are, of course, planning to attend the next exhibition as well, because we found a broad range of materials we were searching for here. In fact, we are considering participating on a much larger scale next time. Thank you all. We will be back at AYSAF again in November.

I have been coming to every fair for the last three or four years. I am a designer, and I work with one of the biggest shoe retail chains in Greece. I am responsible for their private label production. That is why I come to AYSAF, because I need to find all the materials required for the production we carry out in Türkiye. Here, I always find everything I need: insoles, soles, outsoles, linings, and leather. These are the main product groups I am interested in, and I can always find all the sources I need here. Of course, I come every season. Times may be challenging, but we are always here.

My name is Gianfranco Butteri. I work as a stylist at our factory in Italy. Everything here is very nice. I came upon AYSAF’s invitation and I’m very happy to be here. We visit the AYSAF exhibition twice a year because we can find new sources, as well as new leather raw materials and semi-finished products here. This fair is very relevant for us, as the second leg of our production is based here in Türkiye. Everything is going well so far, and I hope we will discover new and exciting opportunities. Thank you.

Hello, my name is Vadim Suru. We came here from the Republic of Moldova. I have been working in the footwear industry for 20 years, and I am a representative of a family-owned shoe factory. We produce shoes and also import a wide range of materials, as well as footwear, from Türkiye. I am grateful to the association for sending us this invitation, and I was very happy to reconnect with many friends I have known for a long time. Here, I purchase soles, leather, and various other materials that we use in our production. I hope that next year the exhibition will be even bigger, because I remember being here 10 years ago, and it was slightly larger then. However, there are still many companies here offering competitive prices and high-quality materials, some of which can compete with the best in the world.

Hello, my name is Igor Leshchuk. I came from Kyrgyzstan, and I am the director of Liya-Fers company. We operate in several different production fields, and one of them is footwear manufacturing. That is why I came to this exhibition—to explore new innovations, discover materials and raw resources, and connect with new companies and suppliers. I am extremely satisfied with the results. It was both a pleasure and a very valuable experience for me. Once again, I was truly impressed by the expertise of Turkish specialists. I am confident that our company will continue to grow and that we will build strong and close cooperation with Turkish companies. Thank you very much.

Hello, my name is S. M. I am the founder of the Saldemod brand. We produce our products exclusively in Tbilisi, creating women’s bags, shoes, and clothing. We have been participating in AYSAF for the past five years, and every year we visit the exhibition. We already have long-term partners here, working with six different companies in leather and sole production. At the same time, each year we continue to build new partnerships. I truly enjoy this exhibition because I always purchase high-quality leather and premium footwear materials here. Last year, we also purchased Elkan machines here, and we are very satisfied with that investment. I would like to thank you for this exhibition, and I am definitely planning to return and participate again in the November edition.
