Leathergoods and Footwear Manufactures & Exporters Assocition of Bangladesh (LFMEAB)

The Leathergoods and Footwear Manufacturers & Exporters Association of Bangladesh, or LFMEAB, stands as the main voice for Bangladesh’s top export-focused leather and footwear companies. We’re here for the industry, working side by side with our members to boost Bangladesh’s spot on the world stage and push for sustainable, responsible growth.

At our core, we want to build a business environment that’s healthy, open, and competitive—one where local producers can form solid, lasting partnerships with buyers from around the world. Trust matters to us. So does consistency. Communication? That’s huge. When everyone’s on the same page, real trade happens. We push for collaboration between Bangladeshi businesses and their international partners because it works—everyone benefits, sourcing stays stable, and we keep raising the bar in how products are made.

We’re focused on putting Bangladesh’s leather sector on the map as a great place to invest. We talk up what the industry can do, the talent in our workforce, and the way our manufacturers keep growing. Growth is important, but we want to get it right. That’s why we push for compliance—helping our members run safe, ethical, and sustainable workplaces that buyers can trust.

LFMEAB stands up for the industry, supports its members, and never stops looking for ways to improve. We want Bangladesh’s leather goods and footwear to grab global attention, not just for export numbers, but for the quality, responsibility, and forward-thinking spirit behind them.
