Leather dealer - Leather seller - Leather trader

Tanneries sell their products either directly to larger leather processing companies (furniture industry, bag manufacturers, car manufacturers, etc.) or to leather dealers.

Leather dealers sometimes hold very capital-binding storage capacities in order to serve their customers quickly and in variety. The leather traders are mostly specialized in certain types of leather. furniture leather, car leather, clothing leather, bag leather, exotic leather or parchment can be the focus.

With leather patterns in catalogues, the leather merchants present their leather range. Many leather traders also offer the possibility to buy leather in direct sales or visit their customers.

With leather and colour sample cards, the leather merchants and leather dealers present their collections.

 

Since leather is a soft material, care must be taken during transportation and storage that the leather does not get too much wrinkles or dents. Therefore, leather is stored and transported on stands, or folded. When folded, too high load pressure and too long storage times must be avoided.

Too strong pressure on the leather leads to wrinkles and bump.

However, there are also leather traders who sell crust leather to finish the leather or rawhide traders.
