Tannery of the Year: China finalists named
02/10/2012
From a total of ten candidate tanneries spread across China, two have emerged as finalists. A group of industry experts nominates tanneries in each of five global territories for their performance against the Tannery of the Year corporate social responsibility criteria.
The purpose of the competition is to highlight and make public the best examples in the global leather industry of tanneries that look after the environment well, take good care of their employees, work closely and fairly with local and national authorities, are economically sound, committed to innovation and quality, and who have established strong partnerships with customers and suppliers.
We can reveal that the two finalist tanneries for China this time are, in alphabetical order:
- PrimeAsia Leather Corporation, Huangjiang, Guangdong province
- Xuzhou Nanhai Leather Factory Company Limited, Suining County, Jiangsu province.
In-depth reports on the work of both tanneries will appear in the October-November 2012 issue of World Leather and both will go forward to take part in the final in Hong Kong in March. We congratulate Xuzhou Nanhai and PrimeAsia for their success so far and wish them good luck as the competition continues.
After China, the attention of Tannery of the Year will turn to Africa and Asia excluding China.
Tannery of the Year is run by World Leather magazine with the support of the APLF exhibition, chemical manufacturers BASF, Lanxess and Buckman, the International Council of Tanners and the International Union of Leather Technologists and Chemists Societies.
