Tannery of the Year: Saigon Tan Tec, Binh Duong Province, Vietnam

摘要

Thomas Schneider takes his time. His first ISA Tan Tec tannery in China was in a building he acquired in a part of Guangzhou that quickly became a busy industrial location, making expansion difficult. But he kept imagining what his ideal tannery would look like and what technology and workflow practices he would set up in it. A number of factors came together towards the end of the last decade and he set up a new tannery in Vietnam, establishing the business in 2008 and running it through contract tanners until his own facility, Saigon Tan Tec, was ready to start production in 2010.
