Despite producing millions of square feet of finished leather every month we only use one finishing tannery and the same group of skilled artisans tanners.
1. Consistency of quality and finish
- When all finishing takes place in the same tannery, variations in texture, colour, and feel are less likely. This is because different facilities are likely to use slightly different chemicals, water sources, or technicians.
2. Traceability & Transparency
- Using a single finishing tannery makes it easier for us to track the leather’s full journey, from raw hide through final finishing.
- This is increasingly important for sustainability, certifications, and customer trust.
3. Efficiency & Reliability
- Consolidating as much of the process as possible under one roof reduces transport between facilities, lowering the risk of delays, damage, or mix-ups.
- Finishing our leather in one tannery gives us better control of timelines and ensures faster, smoother delivery.
5. Sustainability & Compliance
- Many of our customers care about environmental impact. Finishing in a single tannery can ensure water treatment, chemical use, and energy consumption are responsibly managed in one place.
- It also helps us simplify audits and compliance with international standards such as LWG, REACH and ISO
6. Innovation & Customisation
- Our finishing tannery becomes our central hub and allows us to fine-tune recipes and finishes all in one place
In short: Finishing all leather in our one tannery helps provide better consistency, efficiency, traceability, and sustainability
