Participation in the Simac trade fair 2025

The leading international trade fair for machinery and technologies for the footwear, leather goods, and tanning industries has just wrapped up.
ALC attracted strong interest from European customers with its historic K System BU, showcasing well-established machines such as the Kyo 101, Kyo 500, and the latest addition, the Kyo 40, designed for zipper adhesive applications in the leather goods sector.

The K Thermo BU also captured the attention of major leather goods brands. By offering alternative bonding solutions with films and webs in different materials, it meets the growing demand for flexibility and innovation in adhesive applications.

A real game-changer was unveiled with the launch of the K Next BU, introducing a groundbreaking polyurethane-based adhesive tape capable of structural bonding — a completely new solution not yet available on the market. Leading brands in fashion, leather goods, and even the nautical sector showed remarkable interest in this pioneering project.

Finally, the K Pads BU confirmed its role as an excellent choice for companies seeking both efficiency and sustainability. By producing toe-puffs and counters in recycled materials already pre-coated with thermo-adhesive films, it offers a ready-to-use solution for upper assembly, ensuring shape retention while cutting down on time-consuming and less eco-friendly gluing processes.
