VFM Ho Chi Minh City

The Vietnam International Footwear Machinery & Material Industry Exhibition (VFM) is Vietnam’s leading trade fair for footwear manufacturing technologies and materials. It takes place annually at the modern Saigon Exhibition & Convention Center (SECC) in Ho Chi Minh City, at the heart of one of the country's most vibrant economic hubs.

VFM serves as a highly specialized platform for companies offering or seeking machinery, materials, and technological solutions for the footwear, leather, and luggage industries. The event is organized by Chan Chao International Co., Ltd., in cooperation with Yokers Trade & Marketing Service Co., Ltd., and the Vietnamese Ministry of Industry and Trade, represented by the Vietnam National Trade Fair & Advertising Joint-stock Company. This strong partnership brings together in-depth local market knowledge and international expertise.

The exhibition covers the entire production chain—from advanced footwear and leather processing machinery to innovative materials such as leather, synthetic leather, chemicals, and adhesives, as well as CAD/CAM systems and sewing machines for heavy-duty applications. Solutions for the production of bags, belts, and luggage, along with finishing technologies and accessories, are also showcased.

The event is primarily aimed at industry professionals from the footwear, leather, textile, and fashion sectors, including manufacturers, developers, designers, and production managers. For companies looking to modernize their operations or enter the booming Vietnamese market, VFM offers valuable insights and practical solutions.

A highlight of the exhibition is the live demonstrations, where visitors can experience the latest machinery and automation technologies in action. The program is further enriched by expert talks and networking opportunities.

As Vietnam’s economic center, Ho Chi Minh City offers ideal conditions for international business engagement. The SECC is easily accessible by public transport, taxi, or shuttle service and is located just a few kilometers from the city center, surrounded by hotels, restaurants, and other business amenities.

With its clear focus, international scope, and close alignment with Vietnam’s rapidly growing industry, VFM stands as the premier platform for those looking to shape the future of footwear and leather manufacturing.
