The Brazilian Leather, Footwear and Artifacts Technology Institute (IBTeC) and Marluvas Professional Equipment “hit the start buttons” for the fourth edition of the Model Safety Factory project at Fisp 2024. In a 700-square-meter space, in partnership with 50 other companies (manufacturers of machinery and equipment, suppliers of inputs, components, and production control systems), 600 pairs of shoes will be produced in four different models. They are:
– Work shoes with a dual-density PU outsole and a lightweight, breathable polyester knit upper. Features a 50% hygienic insole made from recycled PET bottle plastic;
– Work shoes with a dual-density PUC outsole and a cut-resistant knit upper. They also feature a 50% hygienic insole made from recycled PET bottles;
– Dual-density PU safety footwear, featuring various sustainable and technological attributes in its composition – ecological heel counters made with recycled and natural fibers, non-woven lining for the vamp and sweat flap, and laminated assembly insoles made from PET bottle fibers, and an hygienic insole with part of its composition derived from PET bottle plastic;
– Dual-density PU safety footwear, featuring a microfiber upper with high-frequency applied TPU. It also includes a hygienic PU polyester insole, providing comfort and maximum safety.
The beneficiaries of these shoe donations will be determined after the event.
“The idealization of this model factory was only possible thanks to the government of Rio Grande do Sul, which covered the costs so that companies from Rio Grande do Sul could attend and bring their equipment and expertise to the event. The machinery companies are all from Rio Grande do Sul, so they were able to come because of this subsidy, comments Valdir Soldi, executive president of IBTeC.
“Fiera Milano is pleased to welcome and host the IBTeC factory here. Our goal is to stimulate the industry, which is why we forge this partnership always thinking about future projects, innovation, and technology. All of this is what drives Fiera Milano! Ensuring that business generation originates from here, while always supporting the industry and the institute, which is extremely important for our sector,” states Regina Silva, portfolio and international sales director at Fiera Milano Brasil.
Marcelo Arruda, president of Marluvas, thanked Fiera Milano for investing in and maintaining this successful partnership. “The organization's work in maintaining this triple partnership is very important, because the work carried out here elevates the sector.”
