Tannery of the Year 2011: China finalists announced

14/04/2011
World Leather magazine is delighted to announce the names of the two finalists who will represent China in the 2011 edition of Tannery of the Year.

In March, the magazine named 12 tanneries from all over China as candidates. From these 12, Xing Ye Leather Technology Company from
Fujian Province, and Gansu Hongliang Leather Limited from Gansu Province have emerged as the finalists.

Extensive profiles of both finalist tanneries will appear in the April-May 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.
