APLF Ltd, parent company of MM&T, ACLE and Fashion Access, is pleased to announce the launch of the revamped APLF.com, which integrates the online sourcing function of the FashionNetAsia.com into one portal whose primary aim is to extend our services beyond the fair periods, and bring buyers and exhibitors closer together. This will allow buyers to identify and locate suppliers anytime, anywhere. Additionally, new suppliers and contacts can be located using the online sourcing facilities offered by APLF.com.

Our three trade fairs – MM&T, ACLE and Fashion Access – will therefore not only be physical events but also offer online sourcing all year round. There are more than 1,500 suppliers for the materials, finished products and technologies sectors, where buyers can make online enquiries. The online showrooms of exhibitors will be available 24/7 all year round and will thus extend exhibitors’ investment in the trade fair itself and lend it a permanent presence in cyber space. Suppliers with product showroom will be able to manage their product listings, company profile themselves.

Other features of the new portal include a news and views section in which daily industry news items will be provided which can be useful in exploring further before making business decisions as well as blogs written by industry insiders which focus on topics relate to companies, trends, fashion, sustainability, economy, marketing and branding strategy and many other subjects that concern the leather and fashion sector.

Finally there will be regular updates on our pre-fair webinars, seminars and forums that make our trade fairs fully integrated events as well as coverage on regular features of our fairs such as the online Design-A-Bag Competition and The Best of APLF Awards.

The portal attracts 17,000 targeted visitors per month with up to 100,000 page views. APLF.com is a portal and business platform not only as a 24/7 virtual extension of our international exhibitions but it also reaches directly into the leather, materials, fashion accessories, technology and sourcing sectors to provide an extra dimension for buyers, suppliers, designers and everyone involved in the industries which the APLF group of fairs covers.
