Simac Tanning Tech 2020,  the international annual trade show for the tanning and leather industry, wrapped up last February with a positive outcome:  324 exhibitors from 25 countries,  thousands of visitors and plenty of new machinery and technology on display. The fair was also an opportunity to open a window on the future of manufacturing thanks to the Innovation Corner, a project dedicated to industry 4.0 solutions, developed by the Italian Trade Agency  and ASSOMAC, the Italian National Association Of Manufacturers Of Footwear, Leathergoods And Tanning Technologies.

ASSOMAC and the  Italian Trade Agency network of global offices brought 25 foreign delegations to Simac Tanning Tech, for a total of more than 150 foreign delegates, from Algeria, Argentina, Bosnia and Herzegovina, China, Colombia, Cuba, Egypt, Ethiopia, India,  Indonesia, Iran, Mali, Mongolia, Morocco, Palestine, Pakistan, Poland, Romania, Russia, Serbia, South Africa, Tunisia, Vietnam and Zimbabwe. There was also an Iraqi delegation organised by UNIDO. The Machines Italia desks invited eight companies from Mexico and the USA.   

Simac Tanning Tech 2021 will take place in the  second half of 2021.

ASSOMAC opted for postponing the exhibition dates as a proactive action to respond to the COVID-19 global pandemic  looking to avert its impact on show visitors and exhibitors and in particular  for those origintating outside of the EU.
