| Profile of Organisation: |
Indian Footwear Components Manufacturers Association (IFCOMA) was established
in 1992 to bring the Indian footwear component manufacturers on a common
platform to help them to understand the various opportunities, growth
potential, export initiatives, problems and hurdles to faster growth of
this crucial sector. The association sought to support and encourage the
member footwear component industries in improving their quality, services
and marketability in the domestic and international markets. |
| |
IFCOMA is the only association of its kind in India that is duly recognised
by the government and many other trade institutions. We strive for better
interaction amongst our members, government bodies and the shoe manufacturers
worldwide. IFCOMA members have also made a very impressive entry in the
export markets worldwide for their products. Most of the footwear exported
from India is largely produced from Indian components. |
| |
Indian Footwear Component Manufacturers Association (IFCOMA), is an
organisation managed by a duly elected apex body called the Executive
Committee. Membership is open to all those who are connected with the
footwear component and accessories manufacturing industry. The growth
achieved by IFCOMA in the last five years is a result of the true democratic
spirit of a vast number of dedicated entrepreneurs and professionals who
have worked ceaselessly for the cause of the association. |
| |
IFCOMA is the voice of the Rs. 2000 Crore (US $ 500 Million) Indian
footwear components industry on policy, development, research, technology,
regulatory matters and myriad issues involving the industry and its growth
prospects. Our members are components and accessories manufacturers and
are entitled to many benefits. |

| Profile of Organisation: |
The International Council of Hides, Skins and Leather Traders? Associations
represents the national hides, skins and leather traders? associations,
together with private companies, in twenty countries. It is the only internationally
recognised body of its kind. |
| |
Founded in 1929, it has remained a non-political organisation. Its principal
remit has been the promotion, development and protection of the international
trade in raw and semi-processed hides and skins as well as finished leather.
Its success is reflected in the growing number of member countries and
associate members which we have today. The Council supports free and fair
trade. |
| |
Central to the work of the Council has been the drafting, publishing
and constant up-dating of the International Contracts to ensure the integrity
of our trade and, in addition, to afford maximum protection to our members
whilst trading, be they buyers or sellers. Since the International Contracts
came into existence some sixty years ago they have been successfully upheld
by international Courts of Law and Chambers of Arbitration. Should problems
arise, the Council provides assistance to its members in arbitration matters. |
| |
Another important field of activity is that of hide and skin improvement
together with consideration for environmental issues. To this end, we
set out guidelines and give advice on the production of and marketing
of hides and skins in different parts of the world. This is done either
independently or in conjunction/under the auspices of other internationally
recognised organisations such as the FAO, UNCTAD, UNIDO and WTO. |
| |
At the same time we provide a forum, by means of our Annual Meetings,
for the discussion of trading information and other related topics. This
is circulated throughout the Membership so that individual members can
be made aware of those events and trends in world trade which affect our
industry. In addition, these meetings provide members with important and
useful international contacts. |
