RTL scheduled to resume production in April
The Roggwiller Tannery of Louisiana, US (RTL) will return to full production by April, 2002, according to the chief executive officer, Bernard deReynies. The tannery suffered extensive damage due to a fire on November 30, 2001.
Repairs have now been made to the site and new equipment is being delivered and installed. Mr deReynies said that some dyeing and finishing was resumed in March and that full production would begin very soon.
RTL is an alligator tanner and is part of the Roggwiller Group, which includes TCIM, another major alligator tanner.
