The Past And Future Of Leather Industry In Arzignano Town, Italy

< p > talking about < a target= "_blank" href= "http://www.91se91.com/" > leather < /a >, people will have to think of Italy.

This small country in southern Europe is famous for its high quality leather products and excellent tanning technology.

The leather produced in Italy is magnificent and luxuriant. It is used in the production of high-grade a target= "_blank" href= "http://www.91se91.com/" > shoes > /a, handbags, leather accessories and high-grade furniture.

The output value of leather industry accounts for 62% of the European Union, and its exports account for 27 of the world's total and 8% of its output. No wonder it is said that "every four skin in the world will be processed in Italy".

These figures undoubtedly indicate that Italy has a pivotal position in the world leather market.

< p > according to historical records, as early as the ancient Rome era, < a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_c.asp" > leather manufacturing industry < /a > has become an important industry; whether in military equipment or people's daily life, it is inseparable from leather products.

At that time, people used leather to make saddles, quivers, armour, < a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/" > shoes < /a > and < a target= "_blank" href= "http://www.91se91.com/" > dress > /a >

Due to huge internal demand, the ancient Rome empire began importing raw leather and leather from surrounding countries and even from the Far East.

Up to now, 90% of Italy's raw leather is still dependent on imports. The livestock farming industry is not very developed and is firmly in the forefront of the world leather industry.

< p > when it comes to Italy leather, we have to say that it is located in the town of Arzignano, northeast Vicenza Province, Italy.

In this small town with an area of only 34 square kilometers and less than 30 thousand, it is located in the largest leather industry area in Italy. It has 1309 leather production enterprises, and its leather output accounts for more than 50% of Italy's total output.

Arzignano leather industry is mainly engaged in the production of cowhide, including calf leather, which is mainly used for the production of shoes, seats, fashion and leather goods.

< p > fifteenth Century is the first golden period of "Arzignano town" a href= "http://www.91se91.com" > leather industry < /a >.

Arzignano, a handmade and leather center in the Republic of Venice, has been pported to every corner of the Republic of Venice and exported to many countries.

After the Second World War, Italy's waste industry was ready to go. The leather industry of Arzignano town also met its second golden period. The large number of modern leather production enterprises sprouted at that time.

< /p >

< p > until the 70s of last century, due to the destructive power of leather production to the environment, Britain, France and Germany began to strictly control leather production.

This led many German technicians to work in the Arzignano industrial zone. They brought German advanced leather production technology to Arzignano, and made Arzignano's leather production a qualitative leap.

< /p >

< p > in the 80s of last century, a series of environmental protection bills were also introduced in Italy. Although these measures restricted the development of Arzignano leather industry to a certain extent, they also promoted the development of environmental protection industry in this area.

Arzignano currently has the world's most advanced technologies for wastewater and sludge treatment and recovery, chromium recovery technology and < a href= "http://www.91se91.com" > leather waste < /a > treatment and recovery technology.

< /p >

< p > because leather industry, Arzignano has long been one of the richest areas in Italy, and leather industry has promoted the development of local economy and technology.

In addition to < a href= "http://www.91se91.com" > leather manufactory < /a >, there are also a large number of leather production plants, chemical factories, research centers and machine tool factories.

< /p >

< p > but in the face of future development, Arzignano is also facing unprecedented challenges. Apart from the economic crisis, the competition of high-grade leather in the international market is becoming increasingly fierce. The quality of leather produced by many developing countries has increased substantially in recent years.

In addition, most of the enterprises in the Arzignano industrial area are small and medium-sized enterprises. They can not face the competition and change in the international market alone, and the struggle and contradiction between these small and medium-sized enterprises is an open secret.

Therefore, how to reconcile these contradictions in the Arzignano industrial area and formulate a feasible joint development plan will be the key to its future development.
