As a key trade hub for leather and footwear materials across the Eurasian region, this year’s exhibition served as a beacon of global innovation. It brought together leading footwear manufacturers, suppliers, and industry professionals to focus on material innovation and intelligent equipment upgrades. The event built an international platform for collaboration, knowledge exchange, and future development across the entire footwear supply chain.

Eurasia’s Strategic Hub: Exploring New Opportunities in Intelligent Footwear Manufacturing

As an enabler of digital transformation in the footwear and leather industries, GBOS partnered with industry collaborators to showcase its full-process “AI Digital Cutting Center” solution.

Leveraging the global influence of the AYSAF exhibition, both parties focused on “empowering efficient intelligent manufacturing in the footwear and leather industries.” By integrating China’s advanced intelligent-manufacturing technologies with localized services, the collaboration delivers end-to-end digital production solutions to overseas markets. This empowers global footwear and leather manufacturers to overcome dual challenges in efficiency and quality, driving the industry toward a new stage of growth.

Showcasing Intelligent Manufacturing Strength, Sparking Industry-Wide Attention with Innovative Achievements

At the exhibition, the GBOS booth became a technology-driven focal point, attracting shoe and leather industry leaders and buyers from Turkey and neighboring countries. Visitors stopped by to explore solutions for improving production efficiency, reducing material waste, supporting large-scale manufacturing, and building advanced development centers, leading to in-depth conversations with our team.

Leveraging keen insights into the local market and deep understanding of client needs, the GBOS localized service team combined with GBOS’s powerful innovative technologies to deliver tailored solutions. With continuous on-site partnership agreements, the GBOS booth became an undeniable highlight of the exhibition.

Among the highlights, the KC1630TT-RT-ITS3 Intelligent Leather Cutting Line stands out as a “smart pioneer” in leather processing. Specifically designed for leather applications, it integrates intelligent material-saving nesting, marking, cutting, and collection into a single workflow. Like a skilled artisan, it precisely manages every step, significantly improving material utilization and labor efficiency, effectively addressing waste in leather cutting, and bringing transformative innovation to the leather processing industry.

The VC9-1665T Gantry Intelligent Oscillating Knife Cutter serves as a reliable “assistant” for regular materials. Integrating cutting and punching functions, it is equipped with an advanced waste suction system—like a meticulous cleaning guardian—keeping the cutting area over 90% clean. It is the ideal choice for small-panel mass production, providing an efficient and precise solution for regular material processing.

The Industrial Bee VC9-960 and the Industrial Ink Cartridge Marking Machine IP-GH1280-AT-2SCCD also delivered remarkable performances. The VC9-960, a versatile tool for sample rooms and development centers, impressed with its compact, flexible, and powerful design, providing convenient and efficient support for sample making and product development. Making its Eurasian debut, the IP-GH1280-AT-2SCCD “high-precision flagship” amazed local users with exceptional marking accuracy and stability, offering an unprecedented experience. Attendees who tried both machines on-site highly praised them, fully demonstrating GBOS’s outstanding quality and innovative strength.

Shared Value, Building a Long-Term Collaborative Ecosystem

GBOS has been deeply engaged in intelligent manufacturing for over 20 years, establishing a global service network. Through overseas subsidiaries, offices, agencies, and local teams, it provides clients with timely technical support, maintenance, and training services.

This joint exhibition with local partners exemplifies GBOS’s commitment to localized service. Customers in Turkey and surrounding markets experienced the dual benefits of “technology + service,” creating shared value. This collaboration not only delivers tangible benefits to clients but also lays a solid foundation for GBOS’s continued growth and presence in the local market.

From Dongguan to Istanbul, from Asia to the world, GBOS has always been customer-driven, continuously innovating and moving forward with determination. The impressive showcase at the AYSAF exhibition not only highlighted the strong international competitiveness of Chinese intelligent manufacturing but also built a bridge for global collaboration and mutual success in the footwear and leather industries.

Looking ahead, GBOS will continue to advance technological innovation and continuously enhance localized services, injecting a steady stream of intelligent energy into the global footwear and leather industries.
