The Swedish Tannery Association promotes the production of leather, sheepskin and reindeer skins in Sweden
The Swedish leather industry processes a byproduct of the food industry into a functional and comfortable material with a very long lifetime.
Leather is durable, strong, functional and comfortable and, we believe, very beautiful. Leather that is produced in the correct way contributes to a sustainable society. Hides and skins from cattle, sheep and reindeer that are raised for food, that is meat and dairy products, provide the raw material for Swedish tanneries. Our Swedish tanneries thereby further the use of a byproduct and refine it into a material with a long lifetime. Leather is made to last.
