Bergi prepares for buffing “revolution”
23/02/2017
Speaking at Tanning Tech 2017 in Milan, Mr Bergozza told leatherbiz that the demands on the buffing line are “always high” because of the need in the market for nubuck, nappa and corrected-grain leathers is intense. “It’s not easy to help tanners make their leather better,” he said, “because the quality of raw material is going down. Usually, it’s a question of using heavy finishing or working on buffing. We prefer tanners to work on buffing, obviously, because it allows leather to keep its natural look.”
He said Bergi is already working with one tannery in Arzignano to test its new concept. “The customer involved in the test is very excited about this,” Mr Bergozza said, “because if the result is positive, it will give tanners more yield. It will bring about a revolution in this phase of leather manufacturing.”
