The tannery declared bankruptcy
近日,位于意大利贝加莫(Bergamo)附近的制革厂Urgnano Tannery宣告破产。 Urgnano Tannery制革厂加工绵羊皮、羔羊皮、鼬鼠皮、袋鼠皮、水牛皮等各种皮革。
The tannery has a range of used tanning equipment and other materials available for purchase.
These tanning machines can be sold in batches, as a complete set or as a single machine. The equipment can be purchased directly from the Milan area of Italy and offers services such as professional dismantling, loading and international transportation.
In addition to the tannery equipment, the tannery also has a large stock of skins (> 100,000), including lamb, goat, kangaroo, buffalo, sheep and reptile skins.
The factory has more than 55,000 workers and an annual production capacity of 100 million pairs of shoes
In March 2024, the media paid a lot of attention to a new shoe from US President Joe Biden.
There is speculation that the shoes were designed to prevent the president from falling. Biden's new shoes are actually "casual sneakers" produced by a footwear brand "Hoka" under the shoe name "Hoka Transport".
One of the manufacturers that support the mass production of Hoka is Laiyi Group, a major shoe manufacturer from Taiwan, China with a history of 37 years.
A low-key footwear empire
The factory has more than 55,000 workers
The annual production capacity is 100 million pairs of shoes
Laiyi Group was founded in 1987 in Taichung City, Taiwan, China, and was jointly established by Chairman Zhong Deli, General Manager Lin Changyong and other shareholders.
At that time, major Taiwanese shoe manufacturers such as Baocheng and Fengtai successively set up factories in Chinese mainland, and although Laiyi was only a small workshop, Zhong Deli believed that "staying in Taiwan will only get smaller and smaller, or even disappear, and decided to give it a go overseas." So in 1990, it was decided to set up a factory in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, which was the first vulcanized shoe factory in Vietnam.
Today, Laiyi has production bases in Vietnam, Myanmar and Indonesia, with an annual production capacity of 102 million pairs of shoes and an annual revenue of more than 30 billion yuan at its peak, and the top three brand customers Adidas, Converse and Hoka account for more than 92% of the revenue.
Like other large manufacturers, Laiyi Group has always kept a low profile in the past, but this time, because it will be listed in Taiwan, China, the outside world can get a glimpse of the 55,000-employee shoe giant.
Laiyi Group has a total of 10 related enterprises, mainly distributed in Vietnam, China, Indonesia and Myanmar in Asia, including 10 shoe factories (including 4 footwear R&D centers), and the number of employees has reached 60,000.
