At Tanning Tech in Milan, Tiemme Forni Varese, with headqurters in San Miniato (Pisa) and a factory in Ispra (Varese), showcased its top-of-the-line products, including overhead conveyors, nailers and dryers
Tiemme Forni Varese, a leading manufacturer of tannery equipment, showcased its top-of-the-line products at Simac Tanning Tech in Milan from September 17th to 19th. Based in San Miniato (Pisa), with its production facility located in Ispra (Lake Maggiore), the company is a key player in the Santa Croce sull’Arno tanning district.
“We decided to highlight our flagship products at this year’s Simac,” explained Sales Manager Valerio Leonardi. “These are the solutions that have earned us a strong reputation both in Italy and internationally.” He went on to emphasize the company’s core offerings: “Overhead conveyors, dryers, drying systems and loading systems for presses, fleshing machines and drums are what we do best. Our overhead chain conveyors, in particular, are in constant demand globally. They cater to every stage of leather processing – from the wet hide to the finished product – offering great versatility.” Leonardi emphasized the company’s dedication to producing robust and long-lasting equipment: “Our machines are built to last. We have equipment operating flawlessly across the globe, even after 40 years of service. This longevity, combined with our dedication to customer satisfaction, is what sets us apart. When a client invests in a Tiemme Forni Varese machine, they know they’re making a long-term investment.”
Despite the challenges facing the tanning industry, Leonardi highlighted the company’s ongoing commitment to innovation: “We’ve continued to invest in research and development, even during these difficult times. As a medium-sized enterprise, we’re agile and responsive to our customers’ needs. We can adapt our designs and even create bespoke solutions outside the tanning sector.” He cited recent examples like a specialized oven for cardboard sheets and a system for transporting and drying rubber balls.
Tiemme Forni Varese was formed in 2017 through the merger of Tiemme, a company with four decades of experience in overhead conveyor and dryer manufacturing, and Forni Varese, a company with a 50-year legacy in the production of machinery for tanneries and other industries. The company prides itself on its innovative, high-quality equipment, renowned for its robustness, performance, reliability, and minimal maintenance requirements. With over 1,200 machines installed worldwide, Tiemme Forni Varese provides comprehensive design, manufacturing, sales and support services, ensuring complete efficiency and reliability for its clients. The company’s history of innovation dates back to 1974 with the invention of the “Quick” system, a patented solution that revolutionized hide stapling by enabling continuous processing with automatic expansion. Tiemme Forni Varese also pioneered the introduction of high-efficiency drying technology, allowing for faster processing times and reduced space requirements, a development that has since been adopted by other manufacturers. Among its latest innovations are automatic loading and unloading devices for overhead conveyors.
