Germany-based ISA Tan Tec’s tannery in Vietnam has been awarded second prize in the 2010Energy Efficiency Awards. The award was presented on April 20 at the Hannover Messe in Germany.

The company produces its trademark LITE leather at the Vietnam site, which stands for ‘low impact to the environment’. The tannery, which started production in October 2009, was designed to be as efficient as possible while still producing top-quality leathers. The company also challenges suppliers and equipment manufacturers to find new eco-friendly alternatives.
