our story

FAMILYBUSINESS

For 5 generations - over 150 years - we have been active in this line of work. I am proud to continue the family tradition in this one of World's oldest trading activities and guide our company through the modern and fast changing times and evolving requirements. Together with my amazing team we stay on top of customer's needs and nature long lasting business relations. That has always been the secret to continuity and success.

Jan Manders -fourth generation

We are strong supporters of conventional animalbased materials which have proven to sustain in time like leather, wool and silk. With every day improving sustainable operating product chain we are of the opinion that Leather will survive as a next generation material with much better (sustainable) characteristics as for example polyurethane or polyvinylchloride materials. It will be a matter of time before consumers and governments will awake and fight greenwashing of oil based products and start supporting our product even more.
