Technology events Simac and Tanning Tech, and leather exhibition Lineapelle came to a successful conclusion in Milan on September 25 after three days.

Innovations in machinery and systems for manufacturing footwear were on show at Simac, while technology providers specialising in technology for leather manufacturing showed their latest ideas at Tanning Tech.

For their part, tanners at Lineapelle displayed collections of finished leather for autumn-winter 2026-2027 season.

Overall impressions ranged from people who were cautiously optimistic about an upturn in market fortunes, to those who felt the mood remains very muted.
