Elachem® and Main Group Technologies set up a cutting-edge technology hub for the footwear industry

The birth of the new technology hub, the result of the synergy between the Elachem® Group and Main Group Technologies, represents a turning point for the footwear industry, with a particular focus on the safety boot segment.

Thanks to this collaboration, companies specialising in the production of footwear with polyurethane systems can count on advanced tools and skills to optimise materials and production processes, guaranteeing innovative and customised solutions.

CUSTOMISED MATERIALS FOR EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE

A distinctive aspect of this partnership is the ability of the Elachem® Group’s research and development laboratory to work directly with safety boot manufacturers to study and create specific polyurethane system formulations. These materials are designed to meet the intensive use requirements typical of the professional sector, improving fundamental aspects such as strength, lightness and elasticity.

Advanced laboratory technology also allows the materials to undergo rigorous testing, ensuring maximum performance in terms of durability, comfort and safety. This approach allows manufacturers to benefit from continuous technical support, capable of transforming their needs into concrete solutions adapted to each specific use.

INNOVATION IN MANUFACTURING PROCESSES

In addition to excellence in materials, the technology hub offers access to state-of-the-art machinery developed by Main Group Technologies. These tools make it possible to optimise production processes, improve efficiency and ensure greater precision.

INTEGRATED SOLUTIONS FOR CUSTOMERS

The new technology hub stands out for its ability to act as a one-stop shop, accompanying manufacturers at every stage of the production process, from design to finished product. The integration of materials research, technological development and customised assistance offers an operational model that simplifies processes, reduces development time and improves the competitiveness of the end product.

This ensures a customer-centred approach, acting as a reference point for the entire footwear industry supply chain, with the ambition of leading the sector towards a more sustainable, efficient and customer-oriented future.

A NEW FRONTIER FOR THE WORK BOOT INDUSTRY

The collaboration between the Elachem® Group and Main Group Technologies marks a new phase for the professional footwear industry. By combining advanced skills and strategic vision, the technology cluster not only allows for the improvement of the finished product but also creates added value for the entire industrial chain.

“Our goal is to enable manufacturers to reach new standards of excellence, offering them tools and knowledge to meet the challenges of the future”, say the representatives of the two companies.
