Thickness, toughness, durability resistance to fire and light

The routine production is constantly monitored and tested at our laboratory, to ensure that all our leather meets the established quality standards. Our laboratory meets the SS-EN ISO/IEC 17025 quality standard. Furthermore it is accredited for fire testing (FAR) also on external material.

Constant product development

Alongside its involvement in the funning production, our laboratory works closely together with our product development department. Here new processes are tested and new types of leather developed. Our product development department has an experiment workshop in the form of a mini tannery where the whole tannin process can be tried out on a small small with a short turnaround time.

Innovative product development initiatives come from many sources, including the know (and yet unknown!) needs of the market and our own highly skilled technical and marketing staff.

Constant Improvement

The overall target of our quality control management is to meet and exceed the demands from our customers and other interested parties.

The driving force is constant improvement with emphasis on error prevention. This work covers not only our products, but also anything else that can influence the customer's choice of us as their supplier, i.e. service, deliveries, information, customer relations etc.

By maintaining close contact with our customers, analyzing our routines, measuring results and testing products, we can quickly and efficiently identify problems and errors. Immediately when identified, a problem is brought back to the department where it arose and action taken.

Our quality management system is certified according to ISO/TS 16949:2002*. Since 2001 we are also certified to the environment standard SS-EN ISO 14001-1996.

*ISO/TS 16949:2002 is a new international standard for the new automotive industry. This standard is based on a process mentality whereby the entire business is regarded in terms of various processes. The new standard is based on the modern quality concepts in the ISO 9000 standard, but is designed to replace this standard as well as other second party standards for the quality systems of vehicle suppliers. Our ISO/TS 16949:2002 certification guarantees that we meet all standsards under ISO 9001:2000

Caring for leather

Leather is a living material that becomes more beautiful over time if cared for correctly.

Remember the following guideline:

• Never place leather furniture closer than 20-30 cm from a radiator, or in direct sunlight.

• Vacuum clean frequently with a soft brush, and clean surfaces subjected to heavy wear, such as arm and neck rest, as required. Water-soluble stains are easily removed by soaking and blotting with kitchen paper

• Never attempt to remove problem stains with strong solvents or chemical products. You could end up with a bigger problem that requires repairs. Instead, contact the shop that sold you the furniture and ask for assistance. If the shop staff can't help you, ask them to contact the manufacturer for expert advice.
