Finnish tanner makes acquisition
19/12/2013
For a number of years, Geson carried out unhairing and wet-end processes for Kokkolan. Both tanneries are in western Finland. Kokkolan Nahka specialises in the production of elk and reindeer leather for the footwear and clothing industries. Geson’s specialism is in vegetable-tanned leather.
Kokkolan said on making the announcement that it expects the acquisition to help it increase the quality of its products and service, and expand its capacity.
Geson’s managing director, Kurt Gustavsson, will stay in his position to oversee the acquisition and help make the transition as smooth as possible.
