In the heart of the Arzignano tanning district, G.M. Leather has established itself as an important reality in the production of high quality leather for the upholstery and leather goods sector.
The company has always focused on innovation to distinguish itself in a highly competitive market.
Paying close attention to green issues, G.M. Leather has recently invested in the traceability of its leathers.
CHALLENGES
At G.M. Leather, traceability, which has always been carefully managed, is now also transparent, making it possible to identify each individual leather.
Driven by the desire for continuous improvement and by new incoming regulations, G.M. Leather has chosen to anticipate market trends by offering products that are 100% traceable.
SOLUTION
“I am proud to have believed in the Leather Tattoo marking system” says Simone Voltolin, CEO of G.M. Leather. “We chose Feltre without hesitation because we were looking for a technological and reliable partner who understood the peculiarities of our sector.”
The particularity of the solution found concerns laser marking, which is carried out without slowing down or interrupting the production flow, thus optimising the line’s efficiency.
RESULTS
“Initially, we feared a drop in productivity” says Mr Voltolin. “Instead, we found that the work rhythm flows steadily and each leather can be easily identified.”
“Our investment in traceability has proved to be a game-changer” says the company founder. “Not only have we improved our internal processes, but we have also strengthened the trust of our customers.”
CONCLUSION
G.M. Leather’s experience shows that innovation in traceability can improve production processes and market positioning. In a traditional sector such as the tanning industry, the ability to anticipate trends and respond to demands for transparency and sustainability is one of the keys to lasting success.
NEXT STEPS
On the strength of its success, G.M. Leather is already planning its next steps.
“Automated reading of marked codes will soon enter the company, allowing us to manage data in real time” Voltolin anticipates. “Our goal is to create a complete digital ecosystem around our leathers.”
