The final will take place in Shanghai on Wednesday, September 3, with each of nine finalist tanneries making a presentation to the judges to supplement the information in the detailed reports on each company that World Leather has published in the course of the competition. The judges will use the information from the reports and from the presentations on the day to choose regional winners for Africa, the Americas, Asia excluding China, China itself and Europe, before deciding which regional winner will be the fourth global Tannery of the Year.
All of the decisions will be made on the day and the identity of the winners will only be revealed at an exciting awards event and gala dinner that same evening.
Judges for the 2014 final will be Steve Jesseph, who works for leather, textile and apparel sector consultancy firm ICG; Dr Dietrich Tegtmeyer, vice-president of the International Union of Leather Technologists and Chemists Socieities; Kim Reid, human resources expert and executive coach; Paul Pearson, representing the International Council of Tanners and Ivan Král, representing the United Nations Industrial Development Organisation.
