Closed Brazilian tannery could reopen
31/10/2016
In August 2014, the tannery in question, Curtume de Três Lagoas, closed after the authorities in Mato Grosso do Sul issued it with a substantial fine for contravening environmental norms.
At that time it employed 120 people, but the company that owns the tannery was able to keep on only 13 of these workers to carry out maintenance of the equipment and of the site, which is 30 kilometres outside the city of Três Lagoas.
One of the directors, Claudemir Rocha Meidas, has told a local newspaper that, provided the business environment picks up, the tannery will start recruiting again in the new year with a view to acquiring a first batch of raw hides in February and starting production.
