An initiative by Abu Dhabi's government to promote the use of camel leather is paying off, according to the general manager of a local tannery. Jean-Marie Gigante of Al Khaznah tannery said the site is producing high-quality leather that is being used by the footwear, automotive and aviation industries. He said the tannery can process up to 1,500 hides per day, and includes a physical and chemical testing department.
