Beamhouse

Leather is our passion, it is the essence of what we do

The quality of our solution portfolio, from Beamhouse to Finishing, contains both the experience of leather making and the latest technologies for a sustainable production of leathers. Everything is conceived and designed to transform an ancient and natural material into a unique and precious leather article.

The steps in the production of leather between curing and tanning are collectively referred to as Beamhouse operations. This process includes e.g. soaking, liming, deliming, bating, a number of mechanical operations and pickling. The hide/collagen is made ready for the tannage.

With many years of experience, we counter the environmental challenges the leather industry is facing, without compromising on environment, health and quality.

Our range of special solutions play a major role in determining the final properties and quality of the finished leather. The tanneries use our solutions in an effective and environmentally friendly way without comprising on the high-quality standards of all the leading manufacturers of furniture, garments, bags, (sport) shoes, and car upholstery.
