Lineapelle and Tanning Tech reach successful conclusion
23/02/2017
Commentators at the Milan events were heartened by the quality and quantity of visitors to their stands. At Tanning Tech, tanners from the Americas, Africa and all parts of Asia and Europe discussed innovations with machinery technology providers. Automation and data connection between machines and systems and, especially, new technology for helping tanners improve the quality of finished leather they are able to make from relatively low-quality hides were among the most important themes providing a backdrop to the conversations.
At Lineapelle, tanners received visits on their own stands from healthy numbers of finished product brand representatives.
Several senior figures in the industry commented to leatherbiz that one stand-out trend appears to be a surge in interest in medium-quality calfskins. Tier-two leathergoods brands were among those showing interest, but observers took particular encouragement from the interest mainstream footwear brands showed in this type of material.
