Gapuma Group at ICIF 2025: Innovation, Partnerships, Tradition

19th September 2025

This week, Russell Brill, Gapuma Group Limited’s Director of Purchasing, represented the company at the China International Chemical Industry Fair (ICIF) in Shanghai, accompanied by our Qingdao representative, Wei Zhao.

Events such as ICIF are more than showcases for technological progress. They serve as vital platforms to strengthen the partnerships that underpin our industry. At Gapuma, we place great value on long-term relationships founded on trust, quality, and shared ambition. Meeting suppliers face-to-face reinforces that commitment and deepens the mutual understanding on which enduring collaboration depends.

Reflecting on the visit, Russell said: “It was a real pleasure to be in Shanghai with Wei, catching up with valued partners and discussing future opportunities. On a personal note, I did so wearing a Savile Row Company custom-made jacket — a small detail perhaps, but one that mirrors Gapuma’s own values of craftsmanship, quality, and tradition.”

Later, Russell and Wei took time to enjoy the sights of this remarkable city, proudly wearing their Gapuma G-shirts as they explored Shanghai’s iconic landmarks.

We extend our sincere thanks to everyone who welcomed our representatives so warmly. The energy, innovation, and forward momentum on display at ICIF remain a powerful reminder of the dynamism within our sector. We look forward to continuing the conversations and building on the opportunities that have emerged.
