Elmotech has been developed and tested to meet high requirements for safety and durability in demanding environments in the air, on land and at sea (see technical specifications). Elmotech is a soft, semi-aniline leather with a heavy structure, and leather's natural appearance and comfort. It is somewhat thicker than Elmoline. A broad range of colours is available to match different environments.
For decades, we’ve led the tanning industry toward a circular economy and zero waste. Our biological Water Treatment Plant and Zero Waste Leather concept are game-changers, demonstrating our unwavering commitment to making a difference.
With nearly a century of expertise, we ensure the utmost craftsmanship and quality. Each piece of Elmo leather undergoes meticulous inspection by our skilled artisans and complies with global standards.
Elmotech is a technical leather. The technical leather is our most complex leather with extra strength and ability. We’ve spent years on developing this super durable leather with qualities like fire safety and light resistance in mind. The Technical surface is achieved by repeated treatments. The result is a slightly stiffer leather with less visible natural qualities.
Grain leather from Scandinavian cattle. All Elmo leather is dyed through and tested at Elmo’s laboratory. A hide is selected at random from every batch of finished leather and checked in accordance with the following:
