Erretre, Arzignano-based company, is one of the world’s most prominent names in the field of machinery and technological systems for the tanning industry.
“What we showcased at the latest edition of Simac Tanning Tech combines the results of decades of work and of entrepreneurial development,” stated Adriano Peruzzi, sales director at ERRETRE Spa, company headquartered in Arzignano (Vicenza province) grown into one of the world’s leaders in the production of machines and technological systems for the tanning industry – a firm set to celebrate its 45th anniversary in 2019, as it was established in 1974. Since the ‘70s, the Veneto-based enterprise has been committed to the research and development of new solutions for leather finishing: this drive to constant improvement and innovation has resulted in the launch of Cold Milling. “It’s a well-established system,” explained Peruzzi, “protected by international patents concerning both the mechanical structure and the application process, that ensures top-notch production flexibility, results consistency, low environmental impact and the safeguard of human health and safety.”
“During the fair,” added ERRETRE’s sales director, “the customers have urged us to “further raise the bar” and to bring leather back in the limelight in lieu of other materials. In the 2018 edition of Tanning Tech, we put on display Cold Milling, the three-meter version: it’s a new technology developed to strengthen the monitoring of temperature and humidity rate throughout the processing cycle in order to improve the quality of the most delicate hides such as smooth leathers as well as those treated with processes other than chrome tanning. One year later, we have further improved and fine-tuned said technology. To make smooth, soft hides even when it seems impossible: this has become our trademark, thanks also to the experience acquired together with Fratelli Carlessi in the field of drying techniques. The result is surprising and the customers can try it out in our IST research centre, both on a small and on a large scale. These innovations and many other technical upgrades are implemented thanks to the experience acquired over the years; at the same time, we can provide the customers with constant assistance throughout the machine’s life cycle.”
“We work side by side with our customers every day in order to provide them with hides able to meet the consumers’ tastes as well as the increasingly stricter market standards.” www.erretre.com
Erretre Spa was founded in 1974 as a technical business with the aim of bringing about new ideas to leather processing. Over the years, we have registered one hundred patents internationally – confirmation of the originality of Erretre’s technical solutions. By 1984 our collaboration with the University of Occupational Medicine of Padua had resulted in new aerosol treatment systems.
We’re proud that our systems were in place and operational a full decade before legislation on spraying and worker safety came into being, positioning us as an industry leader in spray technology. At the same time, we continued with our other innovations, including dry milling. Erretre Spa has had its own milling drums production since very early in its life, and through constant development, research and innovation, the Chemical Milling was created – a technology for finishing leather directly within the milling operation.
Today, many years later, the same creativity in research continues to drive our class-leading innovations in leather processing and production. www.erretre.com
