BACKGROUND
León has grown rapidly as a hub for automotive leather production over the last twenty years. With its proximity to the US, it’s an ideal place for suppliers to the automotive industry. A major problem, however, is consistent access to water. Tanneries throughout the city rely on daily shipments by water tankers which are often delayed. By substantially reducing the quantity of water required for retanning, Qualus’system can help automotive tanners overcome the daily challenges of production in water constrained areas while still delivering the demanding technical standards for automotive leather.
