Encouraging results at the Milan Fair for THEMA SYSTEM, specialized in the production of systems for leather handling and drying
Founded in 1985 and based in Montopoli (Pisa province), in the district of Santa Croce sull’Arno, THEMA SYSTEM registered good outcomes from the Milan Fair. The Tuscan company, working in several sectors of the tanning world, is specialized above all in the production of systems for the handling and drying of hides. It also manufactures both systems for through-feed leather tunnel drying and conditioning systems for the room containing the overhead conveyor (batch).
The owner of THEMA SYSTEM, Marco Fogli, whom we interviewed during the third and last day of the Show, expressed a positive, flattering final balance of the trade fair. “Expectations seemed lower – he said –, in the end, however, we discussed with entrepreneurs and technicians, with whom we were also able to talk about the current situation, which isn’t easy at all. Only European could attend the show, so the overall numbers were inevitably altered.”
“The positive thing – he points out – is that those who came to our stand had clear ideas and a very specific purpose: going ahead and invest. This was an important signal for us, because it means that customers are realizing that the devices we produce for tannery machines play an important role. In recent years we have implemented high technology to enhance leathers and we are able to make it also according to customers’ needs. This certainly represents an added value of our brand.”
The company has brought to the fair several “top” models of the range, all evolved and boasting various news, including an automation system and a laminar machine which, as Fogli specifies, “will be increasingly successful in the tannery because the market is increasingly focusing on foils, fashion effects and finishing papers.” In the front row, clearly visible, stood out the huge LEGO, representing the core-business, that is the drying phase. “The evolution – concludes the owner of THEMA SYSTEM – mainly concerns electronics and a series of improvements in how the leather comes out of the machine. We are increasingly developing the leather drying sector, which is a very important part, as the market demands more and more. Just as our slogan says, “All Season”: four seasons and four equal results. As for the rest, we already developing other models which we hope to launch as early as the first half of 2022.”
