Demand from automotive tanners buoys Tanning Tech

22/02/2018
The Simac-Tanning Tech leather and footwear technology exhibition finished on a strong note in Milan on February 22.

Prominent technology providers’ stands were busy throughout the three days and exhibitors were in no doubt that it was automotive tanners who expressed the greatest interest in the examples of innovation they had on display.

Major automotive tanners travelled to Milan to do much more than look, though; they placed plenty of orders for new machines and systems too.

Towards the end of the show, some exhibitors talked of having requested extra space at Tanning Tech next year, but said they had been turned down because of high demand. “Tanning Tech is the new Semaine du Cuir,” one said.

In 2019, Simac-Tanning Tech will take place from February 19-21.
