A Matter of Trust and Reliability

Good opportunities still exist for those seeking commercial openings in China's leather business, despite the fact that it is highly competitive and, viewed by some, as a 'sunset industry'. China Partners Worldwide Ltd, a company established in 2002, proves the point. Yoni Fessel, a director of China Partners, explains that "they created their leather division at the early stage of their company to tap opportunities offered by China and Asia". The company's other division is active in chemicals supply. It's been successful in forging long-term relationships with companies around the world and today leading international suppliers are collaborating with China Partners to support a wide range of tanneries, wholesalers and manufacturers in China, both small and large. If the company itself is relatively new to the industry its success is due to its team's focus on service and reliability. "Our customers trust us", says Michael Fessel, another director. "Our mission is to help our customers be more successful in sourcing quality raw materials at competitive prices. Our customers know we can help them source a wide range of leather raw materials. Our teams are efficient, flexible, present on the ground and our reputation in the industry is proof of our success."

Today the company handles hides and skins of all types; in a choice of raw, wetsalted, drysalted, brinecured, frozen, pickled, wetblue, wetwhite, split, crust and finished leather. Sourcing is organised from Europe, North America, South and Central America, Australia/New Zealand, Africa, China and the Middle East.

China Partners have succeeded in establishing themselves in a remarkably short period of time, in a highly competitive industry. The future is bright. "We are confident that our company will grow and continue to offer unique opportunities to our customers and suppliers", says Yoni. "It is clear that the market is changing and we continue to expand our reach to other Asian countries like Vietnam and India but we believe China leather industry still has a great future and this will remain our focus". Others are offered a chance to get on board with the company's success. "Our business has been built on good partnerships with experts and suppliers internationally. We are always looking for new suppliers and collaboration partners across the world. Interested companies can contact us for further discussions." Further details can be found at <www.cpww.com>
