Pulcra chemicals hosts Indonesian workshop
Pulcra Chemicals, in collaboration with its partner Karyawiosa, recently hosted a two-day leather training workshop at Politeknik ATK Yogyakarta in Indonesia.
With the guidance of Pulcra’s expert Ali Çelik, the event focused on advancing sustainable practices and fostering innovation in leather processing through education and collaboration.
The workshop provided a platform for 48 participants, including students, teachers, and tannery professionals, to explore new approaches to sustainable leather production. Hands-on trials centred on shoe upper manufacturing encouraged participants to think beyond conventional methods and critically assess chemical usage in leather-making processes.
As part of the initiative, 18 students will now begin year-long practical training in tannery factories, gaining real-world experience in applying sustainable techniques. An additional group of 20 first-semester students is set to join this programme next year.
Pulcra Chemicals views this workshop as a significant step towards preparing the next generation of leather professionals. By equipping students and industry stakeholders with the skills and knowledge to innovate responsibly, the initiative reinforces the company’s commitment to shaping a sustainable future for the leather industry.
