September 7, 2025, Milan, Italy – Meihua Leather Group and its Zhuopin brand made a grand appearance at MICAM 2025, the world-renowned footwear exhibition. As a major player in the global leather industry, Meihua Leather, leveraging over 40 years of experience and the Zhuopin brand's dedication to footwear design, R&D, and manufacturing, presented a visual and experiential feast for customers from around the world, blending innovative craftsmanship with sustainable concepts.
Meihua Heritage, Zhuopin Craftsmanship
Meihua Leather Group produces over one million sheets of wet blue leather per month, ensuring a stable and high-quality raw material supply for Zhuopin. As a subsidiary of the group, Zhuopin adheres to a dual-pronged "materials + finished products" approach, ensuring full control of the entire leather supply chain from raw materials to footwear manufacturing. At this exhibition, Zhuopin highlighted two core series:
Wool Felt Shoes
From wool selection on the ranch to formaldehyde-free molding and hand-brushing, the entire production process adheres to strict environmental standards. The products are 100% biodegradable, demonstrating a deep understanding of sustainable living. The shoe shape has undergone three iterations of optimization, combining Nordic minimalist design with big data on Chinese foot shapes to provide consumers with a comfortable barefoot experience.
Snow Boots
Utilizing materials tested for warmth in temperatures down to -30°C, waterproof and breathable membrane technology, and a lightweight outsole design, the shoes not only ensure protection in extreme cold conditions but also maintain a stylish look suitable for urban commuting. At the exhibition, the snow boots, with their unique advantage of "warmth without bulk," were highly sought after by buyers.
Sustainable Development and Technological Innovation
Meihua Leather Industry has always prioritized green manufacturing as a core corporate strategy. The factory fully utilizes environmentally friendly processes, including replacing traditional glue with water-based glue and recycling soles from waste materials. Carbon emissions have decreased by 12% over the past year, as verified by a third-party authority. Sustainability extends beyond the production process to the entire product lifecycle, providing customers and partners with a solid environmental commitment.
Meihua also showcased next-generation footwear technologies: micro-heating membrane snow boots with stepless temperature adjustment via a mobile app, and biodegradable wool felt shoes made from plant-based polylactic acid fiber. These innovations not only demonstrate the company's foresight in R&D but also provide channel partners with a clear product upgrade plan.
Meihua Footwear Innovation & Partnership
As a leading global stage for footwear design and innovation, Milan serves not only as a showcase for new products but also as a bridge for the exchange of ideas and collaboration. During the exhibition, the Meihua Leather team engaged in in-depth discussions with customers from Europe, America, and Asia, generating numerous collaboration opportunities and positive feedback. The company stated that it will continue to adhere to its integrated development philosophy of "from leather to shoe," ensuring quality control throughout the entire process, enhancing the customer experience, and working with global partners to promote sustainable development and design innovation in the footwear industry. Meihua Leather is using its expertise and craftsmanship to help the world reach further and feel warmer.
