Première Vision acquires Cuir à Paris

French-based fashion tradeshow group, Première Vision S.A., is acquiring, through its subsidiary Modamont

SAS, the Cuir à Paris show from current owners SIC S.A., which is a division of the professional organisation of the French leather industry.

The deal will be effective from March 1 and will allow Première Vision to become the organiser of the Cuir à Paris show from the September 16-18 edition later this year.

Cuir à Paris was founded 15 years ago and specialises in leather and fur for international fashion and design industry professionals. In 2005 it joined the Première Vision Pluriel show ensemble, held in February and September at the Parc d’Expositions de Paris Nord-Villepinte.

It currently has an annual turnover of approximately 6 million euros and attracts around 17,000 visitors to see its line-up of tanners, furriers, accessories textiles, technical components and chemical-product exhibitors.

Première Vision now owns all six shows in the Première Vision Pluriel line-up - Première Vision (clothing fabrics), Indigo (textile patterns and surface designs), Modamont (trimmings and components for fashion and design), Expofil (yarns and fibers), Cuir à Paris (leathers and furs) and Zoom (contract manufacturing), which the tradeshow group acquired in August.
