In order to take our customers and partners on a trip into the world of a hide treating company we found in cooperation with company twinc a perfect way into Virtual Reality and 360.

Using this technology we can bring our customers closer to our daily work and are able to detailedly introduce each production step. In opposite to a 2D video the viewer is right in the middle of our warehouse.

After more than 16 years as chairman of the WHL-board Mr Reiner Heck was not disposable for a re-election. An era ended – a new chapter began.

As happening in the most processing steps there is also wastewater accruing inside the production of A+B Hides in Wegberg. This accrues mainly from cleaning processes.

This wastewater is treated mechanically and with a downstreamed flotation in order to be cleaned. During this process most of the organic extraneous matters are taken out. The cleaned wastewater can be compared with normal domestic wastewater and flows into the public canalisation.

Since March 2018 A+B Hides is a member of the Leather Naturally Initiative.

Leather Naturally has a clear mission: It is supporting the use of worldwide and sustainably produced leather and wants to inspire and inform designers and consumers about the beauty, quality and versatileness of leather.
