Turkish tanners identify 50% price increase in double-face raw materials

02/04/2013
Discussions among Turkish tanners at the APLF exhibition in Hong Kong (March 25-27) suggested that the price of the raw materials they prefer have increased in cost by as much as 50% in the last five years.

Turkish tanners believe the price of almost all raw materials will continue increasing. However, they said the price of Spanish origin merino skills and Tuscan hides suitable for making the double-face leathers Turkish tanners specialise in has increased by half since 2008.
