Tannery of the Year 2011: Asia excluding China finalists announced

10/03/2011
World Leather magazine is delighted to announce the names of the two finalists who will represent Asia, excluding China, in the 2011 edition of Tannery of the Year.

In January, the magazine named 12 tanneries from seven different countries as candidates. From these 12,
PT Budi Makmur Jayamurni, from Yogyakarta in Indonesia and TehChang Leather Products Co Ltd, from Ta Yuan in Taiwan, have emerged as the finalists.

Extensive profiles of both finalist tanneries will appear in the February-March issue of World Leather and representatives of both companies will be present at the
the second Tannery of the Year Gala Awards Dinner in Shanghai in September. We congratulate them both.

Tannery of the Year candidates are all 100% committed to corporate social responsibility, working as hard as they can to treat their workers well and help the communities with which they share energy, water and other resources, while making the least impact they possibly can on the environment. They are also sound businesses and operate on a stable and sustainable financial platform. They are all wonderful examples of best practice in the leather industry.
