This year Francal will have a new location and will accordingly be moved into its new venue of the Expo Center Norte:

I can say with great confidence – comments Abdala Jamil Abdala, President of Francal Feiras – that the exhibitors are satisfied with this change and I believe we will have a greater number of exhibitors compared to last year. Already in 2016 we began providing new incentive to visitors, above all, through seminars, fashion shows, etc… We are continuing in this direction, mainly through a program of information dedicated to exhibitors and visitors, including international ones. It is not by chance that we are present at the most important events like Expo Riva Schuh, theMICAM, and IFLS in Columbia, in order to attract an increasingly large number of importers, thanks also to the support of Abicalçados (the Brazilian trade association of reference) and Apex (the governmental agency dedicated to export development).

I am sure – concludes Abdala – that after a clear period of crisis, the market – including also the domestic one – is about to go through a period of growth. In the footwear industry, there is optimism for the near future and I believe that Francal will confirm this trend: Brazilian footwear will show itself to be stronger than ever before.
