Leather Orientation Course organised at LIA Research Lab

06/02/2002

A Leather Orientation Course will be taking place on April 10-11 at the Leather Research Laboratory of Leather Industries of America (LIA).

The seminar will be held at the University of Cincinnati and is designed specifically for professionals involved in leather purchasing, quality control and product design. It is also recommended for newer tannery employees.

This intensive course was created to provide participants with the knowledge and understanding needed to make strategic decisions on leather choice, performance standards and quality compliance. Participants will see the production of wet blues, learn about defects, witness performance testing, and recognise the different and specialty leathers.
