The objective of the Leather Working Group is to develop and maintain protocols that assess the environmental compliance and performance capabilities of tanners and leather producers and promotes sustainable and appropriate environmental business practices within the leather industry.

Hall 1 Booth 1B-B02

For the first time we presented ourselves as partner of the OSI GROUP during a trade fair and that in a completely new design – traditionally – but in a modern robe on the occasion of this year´s Hong Kong fair.

During a lot of conversations on our well attended booth we received a lot of positive response from the market and our customers. Especially our “laser project” for 100% traceability from the finished leather hide back to the individual animal was followed with keen interest.
