Our mission: Making vegetable tannins the new standard
We believe in responsible stewardship of nature. In a world where high-quality leather is produced without chromium or problematic chemicals. Where the circular economy is not just an idea, but a lived reality.
Our mission is to support companies worldwide in producing high-quality, chrome-free tanned leather for fashion, automotive, and interior design. We are convinced that together we can create a revolution in leather production—a change that begins in the tanning drum.
Our approach: Keeping the big picture in mind
Our preview of Olivenleder® We have created an alternative that shows there is another way. By transforming the remains of the olive harvest into a plant-based tannin By transforming it, we enable leather that is high-quality and durable – and tanned entirely without chromium.
It's not just about the final product for us. That's why we work closely with the tanneries – from the recipe to the release of each item. Every detail counts for us – because that's the only way we can truly make a difference.
Our drive: We want to make a difference
Around 80% of the world's leather is tanned with chromium. We want to change that – not with a niche product, but with a tanning agent that works on an industrial scale in existing tanneries.
For us, one thing is clear: there is no other way than taking responsibility. We want to show that premium quality and vegetable tanning belong together. And that every decision – big or small – can make a difference.
Our vision: Shaping the future together
We dream of a world where you can know exactly what's in every product. With Olivenleder® We are taking this path – step by step, together with partners and brands that think the same way we do.
Leading companies such as Vitra and Hugo Boss Olivenleder® It's already happening. We invite you to become part of this movement.
