BMW uses 11,000 hides a day
18/09/2007
Such is the demand for luxury cars at the moment that BMW alone is buying 11,000 hides a day.
The company’s Munich-based manager for material application, Stefan Lutz, confirmed the figure at the International Leather Forum in Paris on 17 September.
He said this was proof of the need for companies across the leather supply chain to offer a genuine international service to customer organisations such as his company. “The structure needs to be international,” Mr Lutz said. “We cannot get 11,000 hides a day from southern Germany alone.”
