Syed Nasim Manzur, managing director of Apex Footwear Ltd, has been elected as the new president of the Leathergoods and Footwear Manufacturers and Exporters Association of Bangladesh (LFMEAB).

Manzur was declared as the president of the LFMEAB on Saturday as the post fell vacant when Md Saiful Islam, the immediate past president of the association, was elected the president of the Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce and Industry (MCCI). While taking the charge at a programme in Dhaka, Manzur emphasised taking steps for market diversification.

He said Bangladesh's leather products and synthetic footwear export industry have high prospects particularly in the US market, according to a statement from the LFMEAB.
