On the 6th, the Italian Shoe Leather and Leather Machinery Association and the Italian Foreign Trade Commission led 13 Italian leather machinery companies and chemical product companies and carried out an "Italian Leather Production Technology Seminar" with more than 10 Jinjiang leather enterprises.

"The quality of Italian leather is universally recognized, not only high quality and environmental protection, these are the Jinjiang leather industry in the process of upgrading the need to learn." Chen Ronghui, president of Quanzhou Leather Industry Association, said that in the past two years, the provincial government The environmental protection issue of the entire leather industry has put forward higher requirements. If leather companies do not want to be eliminated, they must constantly improve themselves. The connection with Italian leather companies is a good opportunity.

Environmental protection is a gradual process

Ms. Gari, representative of the Italian Leather and Leather Machinery Machinery Association Beijing Office, also stated that Italian leather is world-famous, not only because of the high quality of Italian leather, it has always been at the forefront of the trend, but also because “environmental protection” is doing well. “Actually, the “pollution control” problem facing the leather industry in Jinjiang is now encountered decades ago in Italy, but we have come. This time, we are here to share with you what equipment, technology and materials Italy has adopted. In order to achieve environmental protection."

“Now some large and international well-known companies have already stated that they will only buy good-quality and environmentally-friendly leather. That is to say, their purchasing standards for leather have been extended from the quality of the leather itself to the protection of the environment during the leather tanning process. With regard to the consumption of various energy sources,” said R.Vago, an expert in the Italian leather-making and leather machinery trade association, in an interview. The “environmental protection” of leather is a step-by-step process, from raw hides to preserved skins and from marinated foods. From wet skin to blue wet skin, from blue wet skin to crust leather, from crust leather to finished products, every process requires environmental protection equipment, chemical materials, and technical processes as support.

Mr. R.Vago’s remarks have aroused widespread resonance with the participating leather companies. The relevant responsible persons of Fengan Leather, Futai Leather, and Yongjian Leather all stated that the country’s requirements for environmental protection are getting higher and higher. The chemical raw materials, machinery and equipment and even the technology that they use nowadays must be imported from European countries. In order to meet the national environmental standards.

As a result, Jinjiang leather companies have shown great interest in the latest environmental protection equipment, processes and materials introduced by 13 Italian leather machinery companies and chemical companies.

It is recommended that many parties strive to resolve cost pressures

The advanced crafts, equipment and materials of Italian leather companies certainly make Jinjiang companies excited, but their expensive prices have also deterred Jinjiang leather companies.

According to Chen Jinzhan, deputy general manager of Fujian Jinjiang Futai Paper Industry Co., Ltd., currently the equipment used by the company is domestically made and Italian, but the price of Italian equipment is many times higher than that of domestic equipment, such as tailstock machines, domestically produced more than 300,000. Yuan, Italy will have nearly 2 million yuan. "If a single company introduces Italy's crafts, equipment and materials, the pressure is too great. We also hope that the association and the government will take the lead in introducing and sharing the industry." Chen Jinzhan said the voice of most small and medium-sized leather enterprises.

Mr. R. Vago suggested that in order to reduce the cost burden of enterprises while doing a good job in environmental protection, the government and industry associations can take the lead to allow each company to come up with a sum of money, then the entire industry will make a sum of money to use this Money can solve common problems that everyone wants to solve. "Enterprises work together to do environmental protection. This is what the Italian leather industry thought and did."

Chen Ronghui, president of the Quanzhou Leather Industry Association, said: “The concerns of SMEs and the recommendations of the Italian Shoe Leather and Leather Machinery Association, the Association has also been considering applying for government support to set up a bonded zone. First of all, let foreign chemical materials come in. In the bonded area, how much companies need to declare on the bonded area will also ease the financial pressure on SMEs."

It is reported that, next, the Quanzhou Leather Industry Association is also preparing to organize member companies to visit Italy to learn more about the advanced environmental protection practices of the Italian leather industry.
