ECCO Opens High-Tech Leather Cutting Plant in Xiamen,China

摘要

One of the world's leading leather and shoe manufacturer ECCO inaugurated ECCO's new high-tech leather cutting plant in Xiamen.An opening ceremony hosted by Chairman of ECCO Leather Dieter Kasprzak and Vice Director of Ton An District Ms.Zhang Binna marked the opening of an advanced high-tech leather cutting plant next to the company's tannery in Xiamen,China.The new plant is amongst the most advanced cuttng plants in the world with state-of-the-art technology and in terms of environmental footprint.Factory design,cutting systems and machinery have been chosen to ensure minimum usage of energy but maximising the utilisation of leather material.In continuation of ECCO Leather's longstanding efforts to minimise the environmental impact,the new plant has been equipped with highly efficient rooftop photovoltaic solar panels,providing renewable energy,which not only meets the demand of its most important customer that the factory must be energy-neutral;the cutting plant,having covered its own energy needs,exports surplus energy to the ECCO Tannery.It is therefore a net energy producer.
