We have lived and breathed the fine art and craftsmanship of natural leather for almost 100 years. At Elmo, the highest quality is always at the touch of your hand. We know this, because every hide leaving our tanning plant has been touched by our skilled hands.

Reducing our environmental impact
Our distinguished leather is in high demand from customers in over 40 markets worldwide. However, what truly sets us apart is our unwavering commitment to sustainability. Since the late 80s, we’ve been pioneers in the tanning industry’s shift towards water-based coatings, reducing our environmental impact significantly. Our state-of-the-art Water Treatment Plant not only purifies wastewater but also contributes to the availability of clean drinking water downstream.
In 2021, we introduced our groundbreaking ECO-model, resulting in a zero-waste value proposition that distinguishes us in the industry. Moreover, we adhere to a 100% circular manufacturing methodology, ensuring that all process waste is upcycled, recycled, or repurposed as raw material for other industries or as a source of energy.
We constantly challenge ourselves to be more innovative to reduce our environmental impact even more. These are the ultimate symbols of our commitment to preserving our planet for future generations.
