Sustainability forum to take place at Tanning Tech
07/06/2011
In a brief statement, organisers Assomac (the National Association of Italian Manufacturers of Footwear, Leathergoods, Tannery Machines and Accessories) released few details of how the forum would work, but said the idea was to help tanners and other visitors to Tanning Tech 2011 to discover solutions to issues concerning the environment, sustainability, and energy- saving .
The Simac exhibition, held in parallel to showcase developments in technology for footwear production, will host a similar forum, with the emphasis on helping shoe producers personalise their products for the bespoke market. “This is an aspect of manufacturing that has been in the pipeline for some time,” Assomac said, “ and current cutting-edge technology can now deliver. This
is an important development opening new market opportunities in the footwear industry. Initial comments are hailing the potential of this technology as a new industrial revolution.”
Tanning Tech and Simac take place at the same time, and under the same roof, as Lineapelle.
