Splitting leather and hides

We split our customers’ leather and hides according to their thickness requirements within a tenth of a millimetre depending on the item’s final purpose while taking various factors into account, i.e. origin, nature and hide tanning. It’s thus possible to obtain up to 3 or 4 different thicknesses depending on the type of hide.

Thinning leather to minimal thicknesses

This service is entrusted to a team of two workers highly qualified in production techniques, involving thinning the hides by carefully adjusting the splitting machines based on the selection, origin, tanning and thicknesses required by our customers.

The receiving machine operator is constantly checking and 3 of his senses are on alert - touch, sound and sight to verify the cut. Then the thickness is checked using a measuring device called “la pige” in French – an indispensable tool in our trade.

Our machines allow us to have a production capacity of 3,500 hides a day; we thus split crust hides to make stretch leather.
Our third splitting machine is used to dry split large hides, bovine and all types of leather, vegetable tanned, semi-vegetable tanned, semi-finished chrome, or finished, up to 175 cm wide regardless of the thickness chosen.
