Facing challenges and seizing opportunities
Dear Customers and Partners,
an eventful year is now coming to an end. For us and also for many of you, our House Fair this year was an unforgettable experience. We are equally proud to report that shoes produced on DESMA machinery helped this year’s Olympic athletes to achieve personal bests and reach a place on the Olympic podium.
Under the influence of the global economic and political challenges currently facing you, DESMA and also our business environment, DESMA coped with the challenges of 2024 as successfully as possible and continues to report a stable business position.
Successful DESMA House Fair
At the end of September, more than 800 visitors and 57 co-exhibitors came to Achim to attend the DESMA House Fair 2004. In line with this year’s motto, “Pioneering. Together.”, the presentations included diverse automation options for DESMA solutions in the field of direct soling and amir® C, and were rounded off with particle dosing solutions for more sustainable production.
A further highlight was the first ever presentation of DESMA SCF technology (Super Critical Foaming), an innovative technology that enables the production of shoes made of thermoplastics that are both high-performance and recyclable. This is a true innovation for the footwear industry that not only reduces the number of rejects, but also raises production output.
DESMA also showcased the concept boot “integrAIte”, designed with the help of AI and produced on a DESMA direct soling machine, offering a convincing combination of technology, design and manufacturing expertise.
In addition to the DESMA House Fair, DESMA employees and representatives also attended a large number of trade fairs and exhibitions all over the world, where they experienced an upbeat mood, especially at the ExpoProtection in Paris.
Pioneering. Together.
“Pioneering.Together.” – we intend to carry the unique spirit of this year’s House Fair forward into 2025. Together with you, we plan to deliver innovations that will shape the future of the footwear industry and provide the best possible support for your production processes.
We believe there are many opportunities for us to help you achieve the efficient production of first-class footwear with minimum resource consumption, with the help of new technologies and automation solutions.
Working in cooperation with you, our customers and partners, we will tackle the coming year and the challenges and tasks that await us in future optimistically, boldly and energetically and help you implement present and future projects, as pledged in our mission statement: “Partnering for major steps forward.”
Thank you very much for your loyalty to DESMA and for implementing numerous successful projects together with us. We should also like to take this opportunity of thanking you most sincerely for your trust in our company and for your constructive cooperation, which we greatly appreciate. We wish you, your families and your nearest and dearest a happy and relaxing festive season and a good start to the year 2025.
