No damage at Valencia tanneries
Two tanneries in the Valencia region have confirmed that they have come through the devastating floods with little damage.
On November 11, Silvino Navarro Casanova, president of Dercosa and administrator of Incusa, said everyone at the two leather manufacturing companies was safe and well and that their facilities had suffered no damage.
He explained that there were “collateral problems” because the homes of a number of employees had been damaged and some had lost their cars in the floods. The floods began on October 29 and, according to the authorities, have caused 214 fatalities.
Bovine suede producer Dercosa has its tannery in Cheste, 30 kilometres west of the city of Valencia. This was one of the worst-affected areas. Grain leather manufacturer Incusa has its tannery in Silla, 15 kilometres south of the city.
