31/05/2016
These producers have argued that the capacity and quality of their manufacturing increased substantially during the first ten years or so of this century, when global exports of double-face and of nappa for clothing took off.
However, the same tanners have said that the years between 2012 and 2015 were difficult: output diminished and a number of tanneries went out of business.
Specifically, they have said that thos producing clothing nappa in leather clusters at Usak, Menemen and Kula have adapted better to these difficulties than they double-face counterparts. Nappa tanners have found new markets, while double-face producers have found themselves “unable to produce alternative saleable leathers”.
