All China Leather Exhibition (ACLE) 2026 will take place from September 1 to 3, 2026, at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre in Shanghai, China. Also known as the Shanghai Leather Fair, ACLE is a specialised B2B exhibition serving the upstream leather and tanning industry. The event connects Chinese manufacturers and professional buyers with domestic and international suppliers of raw hides and skins, semi-finished leather, finished leather, tanning chemicals, machinery and production technologies. Its position within China’s leather manufacturing ecosystem makes the exhibition particularly relevant to companies supplying materials and equipment used in footwear, leather goods and automotive upholstery production.
The exhibition is designed for tanneries, leather manufacturers, footwear producers, automotive suppliers, leather-goods companies, chemical manufacturers, machinery providers, importers, distributors and sourcing professionals. International tanneries use ACLE to introduce leather products to Chinese footwear and automotive buyers, while upstream suppliers present chemicals, processing equipment and materials required throughout tanning and finishing operations. This structure allows visitors to examine different stages of the leather supply chain, from raw material sourcing and processing to specialised finished leather for industrial and consumer applications.
ACLE also provides a platform for business meetings, product discovery and technical exchange between Chinese and international companies. The event highlights developments in leather processing, manufacturing efficiency, material performance and production technologies while enabling suppliers to establish relationships with buyers operating in one of the world’s largest leather manufacturing markets. By bringing together materials, chemicals, machinery and finished leather within a single professional environment, ACLE supports cross-border sourcing and collaboration across the global leather industry.
