About us
Tasman Tanning is Australasia’s leading tannery, providing high-quality leathers for leading manufacturers around the globe. We are a significant New Zealand company with a focus on export. We started Tasman as a family-owned business in 1953, and we’ve earned our expertise through the consistent and meticulous care we put into every stage of the production journey. As the world’s only end-to-end leather business, we have the unique ability to control every variable in our processes. Our leathers are predominantly used in the footwear, upholstery and aviation sectors trusted by global brands. Our leathers are inspired by the land we call home: New Zealand. We believe that beautiful products come from beautiful surroundings, and our customers seem to agree. Our commitment to transforming the best of New Zealand into world-class products ensures that all our leathers are as perfect as the environment from which they come. To preserve the environment that inspires us, we have made a beyond compliance commitment to sustainability strategies. At the forefront of this drive is the goal to improve on our audited membership with our industry body Leather Working Group (LWG). We are committed to the highest standards and take pride in the craftsmanship of our finished leathers. We can create leather to precise specifications on any scale, and also offer a large catalogue of quality leathers to choose from. We value our environment, our processes, our people and our partnerships. Our ambition is to share a new, uniquely New Zealand quality of leather, with the world.
