In the leather goods sector, choosing high-quality equipment is a strategic factor in ensuring efficiency, increased productivity and operational continuity.
A concrete example is the collaboration between ABC Equipment & Solutions and Cintos y Accesorios L&L with the brand Cinturones Freedom, a major belt manufacturing company in Monterrey in Mexico, which since 2016 has selected ABC’s equipment as solutions for its new production plant.
This process has made it possible to progressively set up the company’s new headquarters, with orders placed over time and delivered through international shipments in containers by sea. The goal of the mexican company was to rely on homogeneous, high-quality equipment, custom-designed to meet its specific needs, while unifying the various production departments.
A new workplace with high-quality equipment
After a visit to the company in Monterrey by the Product Development Manager, the belt manufacturing factory placed its first order in 2016, equipping several departments of the new headquarters with dedicated ABC equipment.
The client placed additional orders, progressively installing new ABC equipment in each department. Over time, this continuity has demonstrated not only the high quality of the supplied products, but also the ability to meet the client’s specific needs.
The main products supplied included:
- Belt horse carts
- Leather horse trolley
- Custom-made work tables
- Horizontal cabinet for dies
- Special horizontal cabinet for blades
- Custom-made shelves trolley
Each product has been carefully studied and integrated into the company’s design process, with the aim of improving timing and methods, operator safety, and the internal handling of semi-finished and finished products.
ABC Trolleys: efficiency in handling
The belt horse cart was developed for Cinturones Freedom, which needed a way to move belts or leather strips on wheels within the department. Based on detailed analysis and close attention to the client’s needs, we developed and tested the first prototype. The belt horse cart is still part of ABC’s product range today.
Belt trolleys, as well as leather horse trolleys, have a key role in managing semi-finished materials.
They ensure:
- smooth movement between departments
- versatility of use
- greater stability, even when fully loaded
Work tables: custom-made solutions
The work tables have been custom-made to adapt to each specific production operation, ensuring ergonomics, interchangeability between departments and stability even under heavy loads. In addition, two models with larger dimensions than standard have been requested, equipped with wheels to allow easy movement in case of changes in the company layout.
Product features:
- Sturdy steel structure with white wooden shelves
- Dimensions personalized to the customer’s needs
- Versatile use across different departments
ABC horizontal cabinet: organization and safety
The horizontal cabinet for cutting dies, along with the special versions designed for blades, help keep every item properly stored in its place, making each department more organized and easier to manage.
In a production environment related to leather cutting and processing, maintaining tools and blades in a safe and orderly manner is essential to:
- Quickly locate the items needed for production
- Prevent accidents among operators
- Preserve the items stored inside the drawers
Technical collaboration and development of custom solutions
A key element that has characterized the long-standing relationship with the client is the strong collaboration, which has made it possible to develop custom-made solutions by carefully listening to specific needs.
Some examples of customized products developed:
- Special carts for handling finished belts, already packaged and ready for shipping
- Shelves trolleys for belts equipped with dividers and boxes for components such as buckles. Ideal for separating different types of production while keeping everything well organized
Over the years, every new product range has been developed based on the analysis of the specific operational needs of the department: handling flows, types of materials processed, space constraints and safety standards.
This technical and consultative approach has made it possible to adapt carts, work tables and storage systems to real production scenarios, turning each order into an evolution of the previous one. The result has not only been the installation of equipment, but the gradual development of an optimized working ecosystem designed to support future growth and efficiency.
A concrete example of long-term collaboration
This long-term collaboration demonstrates how the introduction of high-quality equipment can become a strategic investment for the company. Implementing standardized equipment, such as carts and worktables, across all departments helps create a more efficient, safe and scalable working environment.
Over time, this partnership has also led to the development of custom-made solutions tailored to the specific needs of each client.
For leather goods and accessories companies looking to set up a new facility or upgrade their departments, this case represents a concrete example of how continuous technical collaboration can generate real and measurable value over time.
