Tannery of the Year is an awards programme for the global tanning industry, launched in 2009 to celebrate the production of leather and to help promote the material’s use throughout the world in footwear, furniture, car and aeroplane interiors, handbags and other accessories, gloves, and other applications.
Background
[edit]The creation of the awards represented a response to the call from the International Leather Forum, an industry gathering that took place in Paris in September 2007.[1] The award was suggested by World Trades Publishing, a business-to-business publishing company based in Liverpool, United Kingdom, which publishes a leather industry trade magazine called World Leather.[2]
With the focus on corporate social responsibility, the Tannery of the Year programme will identify the two best tanneries in China, the rest of Asia, the Americas, Africa, and Europe.
World Leather magazine runs Tannery of the Year with backing from the APLF exhibition, chemical manufacturers BASF, Buckman and Lanxess, the International Council of Tanners, the International Union of Leather Technologists and Chemists Societies and the United Nations Industrial Development Organisation.
