Leather Chemicals

Although the preservation of animal skins was carried out from the first clothing from the
early beginnings of mankind, the first known articles made of vegetable tanned leather were
discovered on the banks of the River Euphrates and date back to 3300 BC. Schill and Seilacher's

involvement in the leather industry started some 5.000 years later in 1877.

Today Schill and Seilacher's innovative product range allows the production of high specification leather for use in the aircraft, automobile and furniture industries.

Furthermore products for the production of water resistant shoe, gloving and garment leathers belong, along with more traditional materials, to the very extensive range of auxiliaries encompassing the requirements for the wet processing of leather.
