Brazilian tannery exports its first batch of 100% traceable leather

One of the leading Brazilian leather producers recently exported its first batch of 100% traceable leather.

The shipment was made at the end of last year by Minerva Leather, a business unit specialized in leathers of Minerva Foods (Barretos/SP), to the Chinese market. The company did not disclose the exported volume.

The term full traceable is used to describe leathers that have a guaranteed origin, following processes that allow for the traceability and monitoring of the entire production chain, from the farm where the animal was born to its arrival at the final consumer.

The first batch of 100% traceable leather comes from the plant in Palmeiras de Goiás/GO and was shipped from the Curtume Centro-Oeste (CCO), located in Senador Canedo/GO.

Minerva Leather is a benchmark in the production of wet-blue leather

“An important step for the Brazilian leather industry”

According to Alessandro Sousa, director of Minerva Leather, with the shipment of the first full traceable batch, the company “takes an important step for the Brazilian leather industry.” “The global leather industry has been evolving year after year, and today, the Brazilian leather industry faces the challenge of showing the world that we can produce in a traceable way, meeting the most demanding markets in terms of quality and technology,” states Sousa.

Minerva Leather operates in Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, Argentina, and Colombia, producing over 14,000 pieces of bovine leather per day, which are marketed in wet-blue and semi-finished forms, to companies in various sectors (automotive, furniture, footwear, and artifacts) in more than 35 countries.
