Some Turkish tanners have held back on move to new clusters

02/07/2018
The Turkish government’s support for dedicated leather clusters with advanced wastewater treatment plants in different parts of the country has helped a large number of tanners relocate their businesses, but recent analysis of the clusters shows that a majority of Turkish tanners has still not made the move.

At most, 40% of tanners in Turkey are now operating in the clusters such as those at Corlu-Tekirdag, Menemen-Izmir and Tuzla-Istanbul. Others have said they lack the capital to finance new buildings, higher labour costs and the required contribution to the running of common effluent treatment plants.
