Why are we considered the leader in leather hides supply?
In this field we have conquered the international market using “Made in Italy“. Leather produced in Italy is notoriously considered the best from a qualitative point of view, which is why the big fashion brands for their luxury items, or the furniture factories for their leather details, rely mostly on Italian production. We manage to intercept these leathers and offer them at lower costs and without minimum order quantities. Stock lot leather, vegetable tanned leather, scraps, wet-blue leather and raw leather hides are in our DNA, we have been dealing with any type of leather for over seventy years, offering seriousness, reliability and our know-how in attention to detail.
We are also leather supplier of wet salted raw hides, crust and wet blue leather
Wet Salted Bellies & Trimmings
The choice of wet salted raw leather plays a key role in the tanning process and leather business. Mapel is today the largest exporter of wet salted cow and bull bellies, with hundreds of containers exported each year. We are also specialized in the trade and selection of wet salted heads, trimmings and hides.
Wet-Blue & Wet-White Leather
Mapel is one of the largest exporters of Wet Blue splits and Wet White leather. The Wet Blue and Wet White leathers are part of a more complex tanning process that sees the skin crossing different phases. One of these is the pre-tranning from which we get this type of unique products that can be offered to the market.
Natural Veg Tan Leather
Mapel offers a wide selection of leather tanned with veg tan technique. This skin is 100% vegetable, doesn’t contain chromium or harmful substances for humans. Vegetable leather improves over time by absorbing the characteristics of lived which give the skin uniqueness and exceptional resistance.
