Kopenhagen Fur - Manufacturer Program moved into Shenzhen City in southern China and the Russian Market in Beijing last week. Three trainings were offered to a total of over 200 manufacturers.
Shenzhen (abutting on Hong Kong) and its surrounding areas are known for high-quality fur production, while the famous Russian Market dominates Chinese fur export to Russia.
Three experts from Kopenhagen Fur attended the trainings to share their expertise. Mr. Per Knudsen, chief auctioneer, gave the nuts and bolts of the auction house through lively descriptions and videos Mr. Thomas Andersen, Product Development Manager and Mr Peter Marthin from Kopenhagen Studio, presented the latest trends from international catwalks, as well as the advanced fur techniques developed by the Studio. In Beijing, due to the Russian Market’s trade orientation, a Chinese economist was invited to share insights on Sino-Russian trade relations and other hot topics in Chinese economy.
The trainings in Shenzhen were the first of its kind since Kopenhagen Fur signed agreement with Guangdong Fur and Leather Garment Committee (GFLGC). 70 manufacturers came, including some driving 2 hours from nearby Guangzhou City.
The education is necessary for the manufacturers who need to improve design and management. Besides that, we expect to work with Kopenhagen fur in many other areas to push the fur industry to grow in a healthy and regulated way, stated Mr. Wu Zhonghua, vice-chairman of GFLGC.
In Beijing, around 140 business owners attended the two-day trainings. Mr. Wang Bingqi had participated in Kopenhagen Fur’s training in dying, Hebei province in April. He drove four hours to be among his Russian Market peers. - I was inspired so much by the trainings in my home town. It’s worthwhile all the driving to come to this one.
“The Manufacturing Program has concluded its first round of trainings with success. It was an invaluable experience for both Kopenhagen Fur and our Chinese partners to have these close contacts” Per Knudsen said.
The second round of trainings in 2010 will start this fall.
