Partners develop new bonding process for shoe components

11/09/2018
Three partners, Huntsman Polyurethanes, Desma and Simplicity Works have developed new technology that they say has the potential to bring about “the biggest change to footwear assembly in 40 years”.

Huntsman and machinery developer Desma have worked with Spanish company Simplicity Works, a developer of bonding technology, to come up with a new shoe production method. They have created what they call a highly automated, cost-effective way of bonding together two-dimensional components to form a seamless, three-dimensional upper.
 
Simplicity Works says its patent-protected 3D bonding technology is a world-first. Requiring no stitching and no lasting, the process connects all pieces of a shoe simultaneously, in just a few seconds.
