Towards a sustainable leather value chain Smit & Zoon has the ambition to create a more sustainable leather value chain together. Smit and Codyeco, two of Smit & Zoon’s subsidiaries, were already household names in Wet-end and Finishing. As Tanning is a crucial part of the leather value chain as well, Smit & Zoon is now providing tanning solutions, under our subsidiary Nera. Nera stands for ‘NEw eRA’, as our tanning solutions mark the beginning of a new era: an era of truly sustainable leather manufacturing, throughout the entire leather value chain.
