South African group boosts leather chemicals division

19/09/2013
A $250,000 investment in a leather tanning chemicals manufacturing facility meant operating costs in Rolfes’ industrial chemicals unit for the year to the end of June increased 20%, but the group posted a 26% increase in turnover to $82.4 million.

The South African company sees leather chemicals as a route to growth. “With greater focus on exports to the rest of Africa and Europe, we plan to expand the current organic pigment manufacturing capacity.

"Ongoing expansion of the product basket includes a wider range of specialty and commodity chemicals especially within the leather tanning market,” it said in a statement.
