Leather and Hide Tanning and Finishing
Leather and hide tanning and finishing shops receive raw or salted hides, perform beamhouse work, tanning, retanning, dyeing, finishing and drying, then ship finished leather to manufacturers. For a shop that processes custom orders for specific colors, thicknesses and finishes on a weekly batch schedule, the specialists turn incoming hide specifications into scheduled production runs, track chemical and dye inventories, generate process checklists for each stage, optimize drum and drying capacity, route finished goods for shipment, and maintain environmental and safety logs. Recipes for tanning liquors, dye formulas and finishing mixes remain with the tanner.
