Tannery machinery
Tannery machinery is one of Officina Meccanica Taddei’s key areas of expertise. The company specialises in designing, building, repairing and overhauling equipment for leather processing.
Located in the leather district and operating since 1995, the company develops technical solutions tailored to the operational needs of tanneries, offering both new machines under the UNIMATIK brand and services for existing machinery. This page therefore serves a clear informational purpose: to explain the processes these machines handle, how they are built and the technical services available throughout their working life.

Design and Construction of Machinery UNIMATIK
Officina Meccanica Taddei designs and builds a complete range of new machinery for the main stages of the tanning process. Under the UNIMATIK brand, the company manufactures equipment used for tanning, retanning, dyeing and fatliquoring leather, offering the industry a product line developed through its own hands-on workshop experience.
Design begins with the practical needs of the production floor and considers not only how each machine operates, but also how it fits into the production cycle. This approach makes it possible to develop solutions suited to processing schedules, the type of leather being treated and the tannery’s operations. New machines are therefore not presented as generic off-the-shelf products, but as equipment built to meet the industry’s specific technical requirements.
The tannery machinery manufactured by Officina Meccanica Taddei operates in a highly specialised sector, where mechanical reliability, continuous operation and compatibility with processing stages are essential. This makes the close connection between manufacturing and first-hand knowledge of the tanning industry especially valuable and readily apparent.
