Welcome
This is the tenth edition of our scientific newsletter, dedicated to providing the latest updates on research, regulatory developments, technology, and standard
methods in the leather industry.
NOTE: This newsletter is in English, Spanish and Portuguese. One version after the other.
In this issue, we feature an interview with Mr. Thomas Strebost, a tanner, President and CEO of HELLER-LEDER in Hehlen, Germany in the fourth generation of the family-owned company.
It is a great honor for IULTCS to have the collaboration of Mr. Strebost, an alumnus of the Leather School in Reutlingen and worked as a tanner and later became CEO of HELLER-LEDER, modernizing the tannery, constructing two biogas plants, winning several local and international awards including the German Federal Cross of Merit. Mr. Strebost has been a leader in the leather industry through his roles as President of VDL (Association of the German Leather Industry) and participation on COTANCE, VGCT, ICT, FILK Leder Days and IULTCS.
We appreciate Mr. Strebost's collaboration with IULTCS' Newsletter.
