GBOS at SIMAC 2026: Chinese Smart Manufacturing Redefines Leather Cutting

The SIMAC TANNING TECH exhibition in Milan is a key global industry event for footwear, leather goods, and leather manufacturing, serving as an important benchmark for industry trends.

It brings together leading manufacturers, end brands, and supply chain professionals from around the world, showcasing the latest technologies, equipment, and industry trends, while offering a key window into the evolution of the global leather industry.

With years of expertise in intelligent cutting, GBOS returns to the international stage in Milan, showcasing its latest technologies and innovations at this leading global industry event.

Enabling Flexible Production for Diverse Global Leather Applications

As the global leather market continues to evolve, product categories are expanding across sports footwear, dress shoes, safety shoes, bags and luggage, automotive interiors, home furnishings, and more. Multi-material production involving genuine leather, composite materials, and formed fabrics has increasingly become a mainstream manufacturing model.

The demands across the industry are becoming increasingly clear: manufacturers are seeking streamlined production lines, lower equipment and space investment, and greater adaptability across diverse applications. Traditional production models that rely on multiple machines for different product categories are struggling to keep pace with today’s flexible, diversified global order requirements. Integrated, lightweight, and intelligent manufacturing solutions are becoming an increasingly important need for leather manufacturers worldwide.

On-Site at SIMAC 2026: Real-World Cutting Tests for Global Applications

At this year’s exhibition, GBOS addresses key challenges in leather manufacturing with a comprehensive suite of intelligent cutting solutions, connecting with leather manufacturers, end brands, and supply chain partners from around the world.

During the exhibition, a large number of international visitors came to the GBOS booth for in-depth technical discussions based on their production lines, material processing requirements, and order structures. Many brought their own materials for on-site cutting tests, allowing them to directly evaluate cutting precision and machine compatibility.

These real-world, on-site discussions provided clear validation of the global market’s growing demand for lightweight, integrated cutting equipment.

The highlight of this exhibition is the European debut of the GBOS VC9-3080T, a gantry-style multifunctional cutting machine designed for versatile leather cutting applications.

The machine addresses common industry challenges such as multiple machines, high space requirements, and significant equipment investment. It supports both genuine leather and auxiliary materials on a single machine, reducing the need for separate equipment and production space.

The VC9-3080T is compatible with full-grain leather, split leather, and other genuine leather materials. It supports vision-guided cutting, roll-material cutting, and secondary recutting of thermoformed materials, covering key applications across footwear, bags and luggage, automotive interiors, and home upholstery. With an integrated cutting solution, it is built to support today’s diversified and flexible global production needs.

The machine can also be upgraded to 3-head or 4-head asynchronous cutting. As more cutting heads are added, production capacity, efficiency, and cutting precision can be further enhanced.

Driving Global Manufacturing Upgrades Through Intelligent Manufacturing Solutions

As the global leather industry continues to evolve, intelligent equipment is becoming a key driver of manufacturing upgrades.

As global supply chains become increasingly integrated, Chinese intelligent manufacturing is playing a growing role in the transformation of global manufacturing. GBOS is committed to being an active contributor to this global manufacturing evolution.

With years of expertise in intelligent leather cutting, GBOS leverages its R&D capabilities in China to continuously develop intelligent solutions tailored to diverse manufacturing needs worldwide.

Through the SIMAC platform, GBOS brings proven, practical, and cost-effective Chinese intelligent manufacturing equipment and expertise to global markets, helping manufacturers optimize production lines, reduce costs, and enhance flexible production capabilities.

Looking ahead, GBOS will continue to deepen its expertise in specialized manufacturing fields, pursue in-house technological innovation, and expand intelligent manufacturing solutions globally. With the strength of Chinese intelligent manufacturing, GBOS will continue to connect with global markets and contribute new momentum to the high-quality development of the global leather industry.
