Years of Manufacturing Experience & Counting
R&D Milestones
1993
The world’s first washable leather was developed by our company after more than 9,000 research and development tests.
2011
In collaboration with German chemical giant BASF, we successfully introduced the use of reactive dyes on leather, resulting in the production of the *first reactive-dyed leather.
2016
Using specially formulated chemicals developed in-house, we have applied a “botox system”to correct imperfections on leather surfaces, improving their appearance and texture.
2017
While many manufacturers today mask the presence of the carcinogenic compound CR6 using various chemicals, our R&D efforts have identified the root cause of CR6 formation and eliminated it from our production process—ensuring leather that is completely free from carcinogens.
2018
We identified and eliminated the primary cause of visible veining in leather through our research.
